Thank you very much, Mr. Bergeron.
We will now proceed with the ambassador's opening remarks.
Mr. Ambassador, you will be provided five minutes. Once you get very close to the five-minute mark, I will hold up this sign as an indication that we'd be grateful if you could kindly wrap it up. The same rule applies when the members are asking you questions, because each member is allotted a specific time. If you're getting very close to that mark, I will put this up, and we'd be grateful if you could try to summarize what you're saying.
On that point, Mr. Ambassador, the floor is yours.
