Colleagues, it's great to see everyone back in full form after the holiday break. I hope you all had a great time with your family and your constituents.
We're back. Welcome to meeting number 89 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food. I'm not going to go through the reminders because you guys are all veterans of this committee. “Be good” is the word from the chair.
Before we go any further, the budget has been distributed for the study that we're currently under on the efforts to stabilize food prices. Assuming there's no issue with it, I'd like to see that adopted.
