I'd like to call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 30 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application.
As usual, I'd like to ask all in-person participants to consult the guidelines written on the cards on the table. These measures are in place to help prevent audio feedback incidents, and to protect the health and safety of all participants, including our interpreters. You will also notice a QR code, which you can link to for a short awareness video.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Thursday, September 18, 2025, the committee is resuming its study of business risk management programs in Canada's agriculture sector.
I'd like to welcome our witnesses today.
From the Canadian Canola Growers Association, we have Andre Harpe, chair, and Dustin Pike, vice-president, government and industry relations. From the Canadian Seed Growers' Association, we have Douglas Miller. From the Western Grain Elevator Association, we have Darren Amerongen, chair, and Tyler Bjornson, consultant.
As organizations, you each have up to five minutes for opening remarks, and then we will proceed with a round of questions from the respective parties.
I'd like to first welcome the Canadian Canola Growers Association.
You have five minutes.
