Ladies and gentlemen, order.
We will start our second session with respect to the impact of the appreciating value of the Canadian dollar on the Canadian economy.
We have two organizations here before us.
We have the Canadian Pork Council. We have Mr. Martin Rice, the executive director, and Catherine Scovil, who is the executive associate.
Secondly, we have the Centre for Spatial Economics. We have Mr. Robert Fairholm, director, economic forecasting services.
If you could limit your presentations to five minutes, then we will have more time for questions from members.
Mr. Rice, we'll start right away with you.
