All right, committee. We'll call this meeting of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade back to order.
We're pleased to have with us the Honourable John McKay, member of Parliament from Scarborough—Guildwood. Mr. McKay is the drafter of a private member's bill, Bill C-293. He is with us today to talk about his bill and perhaps some potential changes. I see he has brought some changes that he may want to table later on.
Mr. McKay, you are well aware of how this committee works. We welcome you, and we'll let you speak for as long as you want--ten minutes usually--and then we'll go into the first round of questioning.
The first round will be a seven-minute round, followed by a five-minute round.
Mr. McKay.
