I'll call the meeting to order.
I want to thank our witnesses for coming forward. We have with us today the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade to talk about the trade commissioner service. We have the chief trade commissioner, Mr. Peter McGovern; and Peter MacArthur, acting assistant deputy minister of international business development, investment and innovation. It's good to have both of you here.
Mr. McGovern, the floor is yours, and we look forward to your briefing and information.
