Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister, for appearing before the committee today. I'd also like to thank the department officials for being here.

There is no doubt that CETA is excellent news for Canada's agricultural sector, giving us access to a market of some 700 million potential customers. It's probably one of the world's biggest markets.

I would like the minister to explain how the government plans to advocate on behalf of all Canadian producers in order to promote overseas exports.
