Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Ambassador, for being here and for your service, yet again, to Canada in a different capacity.
You certainly have a strong rapport and tremendous experience in the United States with some of the work that you've done in the past. Now that you're in this role, and given that you have tremendous experience making deals—in relative terms—in other aspects of business, as well as pension reforms and so forth, how do you see the common ground that Canada has with the United States? How do you see those priorities we share and that we can build upon?
