I'd like to bring this meeting to order.
This is the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. We are in meeting 35. The first part of our meeting today is public. We will be continuing our study of contraband tobacco.
I would like to welcome our witnesses from the Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers' Marketing Board. We appreciate you coming here. You have been waiting for a little while. We look forward to what you have to tell us.
The usual practice is to let you have an opening statement of approximately ten minutes, if that's all right. I would ask that you introduce yourselves, maybe explain what your positions are, tell us a little bit about yourselves, and then begin your presentation.
Whenever you're ready, go ahead.
