We'll call to order the 41st meeting of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology.
The committee is here in beautiful Saskatoon. We had a wonderful morning, starting with breakfast with Genome Prairie. Then we went off to the synchrotron and had an excellent tour there. We went to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. We went to the research centre. The campus of the University of Saskatchewan was another excellent visit.
We have two panels this afternoon, the first panel dealing with agricultural biotech and the second panel dealing with higher education, government, and innovation support.
We have four organizations represented in the first panel. First of all, from Ag-West Biotech Incorporated we have the president and CEO, Mr. Perry Lidster, and second, we have the vice-president, biofuels and bioproducts, Mr. Ron Kehrig. From Genome Prairie we have Jerome Konecsni, the president and CEO.
Did I pronounce that correctly?
