Thank you, committee.
In the second portion of our meeting today, we're going to continue in our study of Bill C-300.
We have appearing, from Export Development Canada, Jim McArdle, the senior vice-president, legal services and secretary. Again, you were here for the opening hour. We'll give you an opportunity for opening comments, and then we'll move into the first round of questioning.
Welcome, Mr. McArdle. We look forward to what you have to say.
