I call the meeting to order.
Welcome, everybody. Today we have a couple of panels, and it looks like we have some very knowledgeable individuals here, from academia, from the industry itself, and from some umbrella groups as well. It should be an informative and interesting day.
We'll move right to our first panel. We have with us, from the Acadian Fishermen’s Co-operative Association, Mr. Jeff Malloy; and from Co-op Atlantic, the agriculture division, Mr. Bryan Inglis. We also have, by video conference, Mr. Tom Webb, a professor with the master of management program, cooperatives and credit unions, at Sobey School of Business, Saint Mary's University.
We'll start with you, Mr. Malloy, if you're ready. You have the floor for up to ten minutes to make your opening remarks.
Go ahead. The floor is yours.
