Well, we have the technology working today. This is very good. You're quite a ways from Bogotá and then looped through to us here in Ottawa. That's terrific. Thank you for joining us today. I will be back to you in a moment. I want to introduce our other witnesses and then I'll ask you to begin with a statement, if you would.
Also joining us, from Project Accompaniment and Solidarity Colombia, is Tania Hallé, who is a fieldworker and coordinator with the coordination team. From the International Trade Union Confederation, we have Stephen Benedict, who is director of the department of human and trade union rights. Visiting us again, I think, from the Forest Products Association of Canada is Andrew Casey, who is vice-president of public affairs and international trade.
Again, our witnesses will be offered opening statements. We'll hear from all of them before we begin questioning. Thanks to all of you or coming.
Let me then return to Colombia via video conference and ask Mr. Mauricio Ferro to begin.
Mr. Ferro.
