Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), our study on the role of the private sector in achieving Canada's international development interests will commence. I want to thank our two witnesses for being here today.
We have with us Fraser Reilly-King, who is a policy analyst for aid and international cooperation with the Canadian Council for International Co-operation.
Mr. Reilly-King, thank you very much for being here.
From Corporate Knights Inc., we have with us Toby Heaps, chief executive officer and co-founder.
We'll get a chance to hear from both of you right now.
I'm going to start with you, Mr. Reilly-King. Can I have your opening statement? We'll then move to Mr. Heaps for his and then go around the room and ask some questions back and forth.
As I said, once you're done, we will fill out the rest of the hour with questions and comments.
Mr. Reilly-King, the floor is yours for 10 minutes, sir.
