Colleagues, I call the meeting to order.
Pursuant to the routine motion adopted by the committee on June 18, 2025, pertaining to the meeting today, I wish to inform the members of the committee....
No, we don't have substitutes today. We're all good.
We have quite a few witnesses who are online today. Some of them have been with us before, but for the benefit of those who have not, today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format. Members are attending in person in the room and on the Zoom application. I would ask all in-person participants, though we don't have any for this portion, to make sure they get my attention before they speak.
Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name or until you are asked a question directly by a member. For those who are participating on Zoom, please click on the microphone icon to activate your microphone, and please mute yourself when you are not speaking. That is especially important for Mr. Lemire. He can be a bit of a challenge at times.
I'll give a reminder that all comments should be addressed through the chair, please.
Witnesses, everyone will have five minutes for opening remarks. I'm going to raise my hand when you have about 30 seconds left to signal that you should wrap up your comments to make sure you are on time.
Our meeting today will go a bit over time. We have some committee business, so I want to make sure that we keep our witness time on schedule.
In our first group this morning, from Coop Agrobio du Québec, we have Guillaume Camirand, general manager, and Marianne Bergeron, manager of organic seeds research. From Global Ag Risk Solutions, we have David Sullivan, executive vice-president, and from the National Cattle Feeders' Association, we have Janice Tranberg, president and chief executive officer, and Brad Deleeuw, chair of the board of directors. Thank you very much for being with us today.
We will start with Coop Agrobio du Québec with five minutes for whoever wants to kick that off.
