If we can get everyone back to the table, we'll try to get started. I believe we're going to have bells at 5:15, so we have to move quickly.
From Foreign Affairs, we have Alex Bugailiskis, who is the chief negotiator for the Canada-EU strategic partnership agreement, as well as John Kur, director general for the Europe and Eurasia bureau. They're here to talk about the strategic partnership agreement. I would like to remind people that if we want to talk about trade, we'll probably need to do that another time. We can talk about the strategic partnership right now. Let's try to keep our questions focused there.
You both have an opening statement, and Alex is going to start. I'm going to ask the members not to touch their microphones.
Alex, I'm going to turn it over to you for your opening statement, and then we'll get right in to questions.
