Welcome. We finally hear your much welcomed voice.
We've been looking forward to hearing your testimony, Mr. Byers. We've already introduced you and the position that you hold. We will just move right into your testimony, if that's possible. We are doing a study of the key elements of Canadian foreign policy at the present time, with a focus on Canada-U.S. relationship and foreign policy. So we look forward to your comments, and we would move into a round of questions.
I will warn you right now, Mr. Byers, that at 5:30 our time, which is in 45 minutes, we will have a vote in the House of Commons, so we'll have to cut it short, right on the half hour, right at 2:30 your time if you're in B.C.
We look forward to your comments. Welcome.
