Agriculture committee  Thanks, Mr. Graydon, and thanks, Ms. Taylor Roy. Thank you to the witnesses. I have one question as a result of what Mr. Louis was raising, and Mr. Epp. Certainly there's concern over whether the grocery code of conduct is going to survive; as somebody said, it's on life support.

Agriculture committee  Ms. Farrell, would you comment?

Agriculture committee  Thanks, Mr. Sands. Thanks to our witnesses. We will now suspend for a few minutes as we prepare to go in camera. [Proceedings continue in camera]

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Graydon. Thank you, Mr. Epp. It was a good effort, though, to try to get one more in. Mr. Louis, you have five minutes. I understand you're going to share your time. I will leave that up to you.

Agriculture committee  Thanks, Mr. Graydon. I'm now going to pause for a minute to make sure everybody has a chance to vote. We'll just take a minute from our witnesses.... Now we'll go back to our last two rounds of question. We have Mr. Epp for five minutes, please.

Agriculture committee  Thank you very much. Now we have Mr. MacGregor for six minutes, please.

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr Graydon. We appreciate that. Mr. Perron, you have six minutes.

Agriculture committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Sands. Thanks, Ms. Rood. Now we go to Mr. Drouin and the Liberals for six minutes, please.

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Graydon. I appreciate that. We will now move to Ms. Rood of the Conservatives for six minutes, please.

Agriculture committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Fraeys. Colleagues, we do have the bells going again, so we're going to have a vote in about half an hour. I'm just looking for unanimous consent to see if we'll carry on and vote virtually when the time comes.

Agriculture committee  Excellent. Thank you. That's a benefit to our witnesses as well. Mr. Graydon, it's good to see you again. We'll start your presentation, for five minutes, please.

Agriculture committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Sands. You're right on time. Now we'll move to Ms. Farrell and Mr. Fraeys for five minutes. I'm not too sure who is going to take the lead. I'll leave that up to you.

Agriculture committee  Okay, team, we will bring the meeting back to order. Thank you very much to our witnesses for getting that sound check done as quickly as possible. I know that most of you have been here before, but just as a bit of housekeeping, I'll remind you to please not press your microphone on or off mute until I recognize you and invite you to speak.

Agriculture committee  That's a great way to finish, I guess. Now we'll go to Mr. Louis to wrap things up. You have three minutes, please.

Agriculture committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Medline and Mr. Louis. Mr. Medline, thank you for your comments and answers today. We appreciate your input and candidness. We'll now suspend the meeting for a few minutes as we get ready for the next panel.
