Welcome to meeting number 29 of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food.
I will start with a few reminders. Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format. The proceedings will be made available on 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. Of course, screenshots or taking photos of the screen is not permitted. Finally, I ask that members who are participating in the meeting in person follow the Board of Internal Economy's health recommendations.
Today, the committee is continuing its consideration of Bill C‑234.
We have three different witnesses here for our first panel.
Joining us by video conference as an individual is Mr. Jean Caron, professor, Laval University. Welcome, Mr. Caron.
From Équiterre, Émile Boisseau-Bouvier, climate policy analyst, is also joining us by video conference.
From the National Farmers Union, we have Glenn Wright, farmer and professional engineer, joining us by video conference.
Each of our witnesses is going to have five minutes. Obviously, we have the ability for English and French. You will see the toggle at the bottom of your screen.
I'm going to allow Mr. Caron to start. You will have up to five minutes, and then we'll go to questions.
Mr. Caron, it's over to you for up to five minutes.
