I apologise. I am a bit edgy here. It is 4.25 p.m. I appreciate we had a break and we have given the debate an hour and three quarters. I thank Mr. Coughlan and Dr. Cromie for coming before us.

I appreciate that they have updated us on progress. One of the points made back then was that a roadshow information session was required. Although the witnesses would have preferred if more had attended, at least the first round was very welcome and the word should spread. Improved animal performance yields better profit, and knowledge transfer and training will be critical.

We will suspend in order to allow our other witnesses to come in. I ask members to stay if possible.
