I call the meeting to order.
Good morning everyone. I hope you all had a nice weekend.
Welcome to meeting number 24 of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food.
I have a few reminders before we get started.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of November 25, 2021. The proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website. Just so you are aware, the webcast will always show the person speaking, rather than the entirety of the committee. Screenshots or taking photos of your screen is not permitted.
For members participating in person, keep in mind the Board of Internal Economy's health protocol guidelines.
Colleagues, we are back. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Monday, May 30, 2022, we are continuing in meeting number three our study of global food insecurity. We have another great panel lined up today. I see them on the screen joining us.
