Thank you.
Before we ask you to answer some questions, we'll ask you to retreat from the table and then return when we get into the question and answer period. It is really difficult with our time constraints to open up a round of questioning when we don't have the other presenters.
We'll ask our other presenters to come to the table: from the Centre for Science in the Public Interest, Bill Jeffery, national coordinator; from the University of Alberta, Dr. Sean Cash, assistant professor, Department of Rural Economics; and from Nova Scotia Agricultural College, Dr. J. Stephen Clark, associate professor of economics, Department of Business and Social Sciences.
We'll start with the Centre for Science in the Public Interest. Bill Jeffery, the floor is yours for ten minutes.
