Hello, everyone. It's great to see you.
Welcome to meeting number 22 of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
As you are all aware, pursuant to Standing Order 106(4), the committee is meeting today to consider a request received by the clerk and submitted by four members of the committee to discuss their request to undertake a study of the exportation of Russian turbines.
I understand that all members are present virtually today. As such, I'd ask that all members exercise indulgence and patience.
As always, interpretation is available through the globe icon at the bottom of your screens.
For members participating in person, if they are there, please keep in mind the Board of Internal Economy's guidelines for mask use and health protocols.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind all participants that taking photos or screenshots of your screen are not permitted.
Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. Furthermore, when speaking, please speak slowly and clearly for the sake of our interpreters. When you are not speaking, your mike should be on mute.
Also, this is a reminder that all comments by members and witnesses should be addressed through the chair.
Thank you.
I'm waiting to hear from the clerk as to what the speaking order is.
