Welcome back for the second hour.
Before I introduce our witnesses, I want to remind them that committee members may ask questions in English and French. We try to give interpretation a bit of time, so take a moment to listen completely to what is being said before you respond.
For the second hour today, I'd like to welcome our witnesses.
As an individual present before us, we have Kyle Larkin, president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Meat Council.
Online, we have Jodene Baker, vice-president of research, advocacy and external relations for Imagine Canada.
Mr. Larkin, welcome to committee again. I think you were here a few years back for a lobbying study. You have up to five minutes for your opening statement. Go ahead, sir.
