It's great to have new members join and be able to be on the best committee on the Hill.
Today, Ms. Andréanne Larouche will be replacing Mr. Yves Perron starting at 6 p.m.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Monday, May 30, 2022, we are continuing our study on global food insecurity.
This is actually the last panel we will have. I certainly appreciate all the witnesses who have appeared and those who are here today.
Appearing today as an individual, we have Dr. Michael Fakhri, special rapporteur on the right to food with the United Nations. He's joining us by video conference. Welcome, Dr. Fakhri.
In the room we have, from the Canadian Canola Growers Association, Dave Carey, who serves as the vice-president of government and industry relations. Mr. Carey, it's great to see you.
From the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Association, we have Charles Stevens, who is the chair of the board. Mr. Stevens, welcome to our committee.
From Quorum Corporation, we have Mark Hemmes, who is the president. He is joining us by video conference.
Colleagues, you'll note that we have four witnesses as we try to round out our schedule. We thought it was best to make sure we could exhaust the witness list, which is why we have four on this panel.
I'll get right to it and ask Mr. Fakhri to begin.
It's over to you for five minutes.
