Okay. I appreciate that. I didn't mean to squeeze you guys. We're just trying to stay on time. Thank you.
To our witnesses, on behalf of the committee, thank you very much for your time here today. We apologize for some of the technical difficulties we encountered, but I know we're all richer as a result of your testimony and your evidence here today.
Colleagues, we're going to break for just a minute or two and get our second panel in.
Thank you very much. We'll resume momentarily.
Welcome back, everyone.
Thank you to our technical team for the quick turnaround. That was record speed.
We're on our second panel today.
Joining us by teleconference, we have the Canadian Canola Growers Association, with Dave Carey, serving as vice-president of government and industry relations. Dave, it's good to see you.
We also have Steve Pratte, who serves as the policy development manager. Welcome.
From the Canola Council of Canada, we have Chris Davison, who serves as vice-president of stakeholder and industry relations.
From McGill University, we have Pascal Thériault, who serves as the agriculture economist and director, farm management and technology.
Mr. Thériault, as a Liberal member, I couldn't help but notice the colour of your jacket. I think it looks just wonderful on you.
We're going to start with Mr. Carey for five minutes.
