Thank you, Ambassador. I appreciate your coming and bringing your assistants with you to brief us on what's happening in the European Union.
I will say, wearing another hat, that I'm the president of the Canada-Europe Parliamentary Association, so I bump into Ambassador Brinkmann regularly. He keeps me well informed as to what's going on in Europe. It's a pleasure to see you.
We now have, from the Federal Government of Germany, Ms. Klabundt.
Are you going to address the committee?
