We would like to call the meeting to order.
We want to thank our witness for being here. This is actually a continued study on a comprehensive economic trade agreement between the European Union and Canada.
We have with us our chief negotiator, Mr. Steve Verheul, and Ana Renart, deputy chief trade negotiator.
We appreciate you being here. We have a hour with you, and then we'll move into a second round of testimony on the Japanese partnership agreement.
Without any delay, we'll yield you the floor. Then we'll have questions and answers.
Steve, the floor is yours.
