Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to welcome the panellists here this afternoon. I had the pleasure of having breakfast with four of the panellists, actually, this morning, and most of my questions were probably answered. But there are some things that are still not clear.

I'd like to start with Mr. Lidster. You've spoken about Ag-West Biotech being unique. I agree, it is something that is different. I'd like to understand it a little better. You've indicated, I believe, that this organization has invested $760 million since 1989. Is that correct?
