I call this meeting to order.
If I could just speak to the media, while we welcome you here, the table is reserved for members and witnesses. Thank you very much.
Welcome here today to our meeting of the subcommittee on the review of food safety, basically brought about by the listeriosis outbreak last summer, as we all know. I hope everyone had a good Easter break. We'll get down to business.
I'd like to welcome our guests here today, Mr. McCain, Mr. McAlpine, and Mr. Huffman from Maple Leaf Foods. This first part of the meeting today will go from 4 till 6, at which point we will break.
We'll keep the presentation to 10 minutes, if we could, Mr. McCain, and then we'll go from there.
Welcome, and thanks for coming.
