Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
My thanks to all of the witnesses, and a particular warm welcome to Mr. Farwell.
I appreciate your being here and I want to convey publicly the regrets of our chair, Dr. Harold Albrecht. He was very interested in coming today to hear your evidence but had an unavoidable prior commitment and couldn't make it.
I want to ask some questions that may be a little bit technical. I'm going to resort mainly to Mr. Farwell, if I may. I would like, first of all, to inquire whether the Grand River Conservation Authority has worked with, benefited from, or contributed to what I understand goes under the acronym of NAHARP, the national agri-environmental health analysis and reporting program.
I wasn't really aware of how much the GRCA was involved with farm planning until I heard your evidence, and I don't know whether this is a tool that you use or not. I hope I'm not putting you too much on the spot by asking.
