Committee members, I'll ask you to take your seats, and we'll get started. We're a few minutes late.
I would like to welcome our witnesses, both here in Ottawa and those appearing by video conference from London and Milan.
To all our panellists, I'll have to make some apologies initially. It seems that we are setting up for some votes in the House of Commons, but what we've decided as a committee is that rather than interrupt our process here—because time is precious—some of the committee members will remain and some will have to return to the House to vote. We'll get as much of your testimony and the questions and answers as we can.
Let's start with witnesses here in Ottawa, for up to five minutes, and then we'll turn to our guests via video conference.
Perhaps we'll start with you, Mr. Hunter.
