We will resume.
Once again, I would like to welcome the members of the committee.
In the second witness panel this afternoon, we have two representatives of the Association des producteurs maraîchers du Québec: Patrice Léger Bourgoin, its General Manager; and Catherine Lessard, its Deputy Director General. It appears that Ms. Lessard is having some technical difficulty. I hope it can be resolved.
We also have Ron Lemaire, who is President of the Canadian Produce Marketing Association. Mr. Lemaire is also having some technical difficulty, which I hope the technicians can resolve.
Next, we have from the Centre for Future Work, Jim Stanford, economist and director.
We'll have five minutes for each of the opening remarks.
It's going to have to be Mr. Patrice Léger Bourgoin.
Before that, I would like to take a brief moment to note that Mr. Lehoux' grandson is with us today. His name is Édouard, and I believe he is a high school student.
Good afternoon, Édouard. It's a pleasure to have you with us.
I now turn the floor over to Patrice Léger Bourgoin for five minutes.
