Good afternoon, everyone. I want to thank the posse that has come in from Global Affairs Canada.
I will give you a quick introduction: Ian Burchett, director general, south and southeast Asia and Oceania bureau; Jean-Bernard Parenteau, who I believe was here the other day, director, west and central Africa division; Angelica Liao-Moroz, director, southern and eastern Africa bilateral relations division; Chantal Labelle, director, South Sudan program, southern and eastern Africa; David Morgan, acting director, eastern Europe and Eurasia relations division; Sébastien Beaulieu, executive director, Middle East relations; and Sylvia Cesaratto, director, South America.
With that rather lengthy introduction, I would now turn the floor over to you. If you can keep it to around 20 minutes, plus or minus, that would be fantastic.
