Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), our study on the Canada and United Nations arms trade treaty negotiations will commence.
I want to thank our two witnesses from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. We have Habib Massoud, who is a deputy director of the non-proliferation and disarmament division.
Welcome, sir.
We also have Paul Galveias, who is the senior export control officer of the exports control division.
Paul, welcome.
Thank you both very much for being here today. I believe you have an opening statement, so I'll turn the floor over to you. We'll give you 10 minutes, and then we'll go back and forth with our colleagues to ask some questions.
I'll turn the floor over to you, sir.
