Thank you.
At this point, I would like to welcome our guests from the Republic of Bangladesh. Thank you for joining us here today for our committee meetings. We're in the middle of a meeting, so we're going to carry on, but I do want to recognize some of the chairs of committees who are here.
The chair of the committee on social welfare, the chair of the committee on agriculture, the chair of the committee on labour and employment, and the chair of the committee on fisheries and livestock are joining us here today. Welcome to all of you, as well as to your parliamentary staff. We hope you enjoy your stay here in Canada, and we hope you learn something from our best practices.
We discussed before you came in that we were going to try to be on our best behaviour while we have guests here, so welcome to all of you.
Now we'll turn it over to Madam Boutin-Sweet.
