Good afternoon, everyone.
We're here today to work on a study on a trade agreement between Canada and the Republic of South Korea.
We have as witnesses today from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade: Ian Burney, director general, bilateral and regional trade policy; Marvin Hildebrand, director, bilateral market access division; Gilles Gauthier, director, investment trade policy division; and Pamela Simpson, deputy director, regional trade policy division.
We have as well, from the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Denis Landreville, deputy director, regional and bilateral negotiations.
From the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development, we have Anthony Giles, director general, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada.
I recognize that's a lot of people for a short time. I'm not sure if we'll have three presentations today to start off, or just two, but if you do want to make a presentation, I'd ask you to keep it to five minutes if you can. Then we'll go directly to questions. We'll probably only get one round of questions from each party in the initial round of questions.
We'll start with Mr. Burney.
