I call this meeting back to order. I know that Scott and many of you sitting in the back have been through this before, so I won't take too much time to go over the processes.
You will each be given five minutes to make an opening statement. We have Ms. Flies on Zoom.
Everybody will be given five minutes to make an opening statement, followed by some questions from our colleagues on the committee. Please unmute yourself when you've been asked to speak and then put yourself on mute when you are no longer speaking.
I'd like to introduce the witnesses we have with us today. From the Canada Organic Trade Association, we have Tia Loftsgard and Scott Shiels. From the Canadian Organic Growers, we have Gillian Flies, executive director of The New Farm Centre, and Katie Fettes, director of policy and research. From the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers—no stranger to us—is Richard Lee, executive director.
It's good to see you all.
We will start our first five-minute presentation from the Organic Trade Association. Scott or Tia, whoever is going to speak, please start your five minutes.
