Thank you very much.
I'm not certain if there are any other comments the chair would like to make. I think we have a number of questions and comments.
Because this is the 30th meeting of our committee, we will continue in the normal way of conducting a foreign affairs meeting, which is that after a presentation from our guests, we would go to the official opposition and then to the government side.
Would you prefer to go directly to questions, Mr. Chair, or do you have any further comments?
