Thank you Mr. Chairman, and before we begin I would like to table a motion. I had an opportunity to speak about the issue in question with some of my colleagues opposite.
The motion is the following:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development undertake a study on the Millennium development goals and the post-2015 development agenda; and that the committee report back its findings to the House of Commons.
Thank you Mr. Chairman.
