I call this meeting to order.
Because of potential votes, I will ask for UC, when the time comes, to do the votes virtually and carry on, as Mr. Medline has a hard stop at 4:30. To delay would inhibit our ability to carry on with this first panel today. If everybody is okay with that, we will carry on. We'll make sure that Ms. Leah Taylor Roy and Mr. Carr and Mr. Drouin are up to speed. I will have everyone's assurance there will be no shenanigans in the meantime.
Welcome to meeting number 86 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-food.
I have a few reminders for our witnesses, although I know that Mr. Medline has been here before.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format. The proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website.
