I call this meeting to order. Welcome to meeting number 27 of the Special Committee on Canada-China Relations.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, September 23, 2020, the committee is meeting for its study of Canada-China relations.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of January 25, 2021.
Before turning to our witnesses, I'd like to ask if there are any objections to setting aside 10 minutes at the end of today's meeting—so we would end 10 minutes early—to quickly discuss a few items relating to committee business.
Seeing none—
