Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our two guests for coming, Mr. Chair. I don't want to ask them about anything specific to Canada's internal political debate about the climate change crisis and what the state of the situation is domestically. But I think we have a responsibility to ask these gentlemen, Mr. Chair, in their positions representing either one nation-state or in the case of the European Union—you'll forgive me, Ambassador--how many states are there now in the EU?
