This is the first occasion after the most recent break that we have had to work in committee of the whole. I remind everyone that while it is less formal, I am the Chairman, not the Speaker. Members are free to sit wherever they choose to. Members will be given an opportunity to speak for a maximum of 10 minutes, with a period of 10 minutes for questions. Members may speak more than once.
To lead off this very important debate, I now turn to the hon. Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.
