That's a good place to start.
Because we will have three languages to deal with in the second half, we're not using the translation booth. I'm asking everybody to pick up this device that's in front of you. The conventional translation is not going to be working. We'll be using these headphones. We'll have English on channel one, French on channel two, and Spanish on three.
Thank you for that, Peter. I should have mentioned that right off the top. I don't think we'll need the Spanish for this portion, but we will in the second half of today's meeting.
I was just about to introduce our first round of witnesses from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Sugar Institute.
From the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, we have Shirley-Ann George, who's been with us before. She's the vice-president of international policy. Brian Zeiler-Kligman is with Ms. George today. He's also from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
From the Canadian Sugar Institute, we have Sandra Marsden, the president, and Daniel Lafrance, senior vice-president of finance and procurement for Lantic Sugar Limited and Rogers Sugar Ltd.
There's a plug for you.
We have split the day, and we're going to have a little difficulty trying to get everybody in, so we're going to have to have some kind of accord on that. When we divide it up this way, not everyone has an opportunity to ask questions of each witness. I think what we'll do is start off with five-minute rounds. That's the only way to do it fairly for everybody. It gets a little closer to fairness anyway.
Before we even begin, I'm going to ask our witnesses to be cognizant of that as well. That will mean that for each of the questioners, the question and answer will be completed in five minutes.
With that, I'm going to start. I'm going to ask Shirley-Ann George to begin with a short address.
