Let me take that under advisement for a moment. Rather than get into a debate on it at this point, and rather than pull our witnesses through that discussion, if there is going to be one, could I ask that we pursue that at about 4:40 and take it up for consideration at that point?
Right now we have our witnesses waiting, and we're glad to have them here again on our discussion of the Canada-Jordan free trade agreement.
I welcome back John Masswohl from the Canadian Cattlemen's Association.
John, thank you for your continued support of this committee and for providing information to us.
We also have the president of the Grain Growers of Canada, Doug Robertson.
It's a pleasure to have you with us. We've had your colleague, Richard Phillips, with us before. He is the executive director.
Richard, welcome back.
We're going to begin with some opening statements. I take it we have three opening statements, so that's fine. I hope you can keep them under 10 minutes. You are all used to that by now.
We are going to start with Mr. Phillips.
