Mr. Nater, you weren't on my list, but you are here on behalf of Mr. Steinley. It's great to see you again. We had you last week, so you're becoming a regular.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Monday, November 21, 2022, the committee will resume its study of the Ukraine goods remission order.
I'd now like to welcome our witnesses for the first one-hour panel. We'll see whether or not Taras Kachka, deputy minister of economy and trade representative of Ukraine, can join us as scheduled. The invitation was sent.
From the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, we have Ihor Michalchyshyn, executive director and chief executive officer; and Orest Zakydalsky, senior policy adviser. You are joining us on the screen. Thank you and welcome.
From the Chicken Farmers of Canada, we have Tim Klompmaker, who is the chair; Michael Laliberté, the executive director; and Yves Ruel, associate executive director. Welcome. I would be remiss without mentioning Nick de Graaf. He's one of my constituents.
I wanted to make sure you were on the record, Mr. de Graaf, so you'll be forever in the Hansard, so to speak, of the House of Commons. Thank you for the work that you do in Kings—Hants.
We're going to allow up to five minutes for opening remarks from the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, from the Chicken Farmers of Canada and also from the deputy minister, if he can join us.
I'm going to start with Mr. Klompmaker.
It's over to you for up to five minutes.
