Good morning, everyone.
The Standing Committee on International Trade is here today, of course, to continue the study of the softwood lumber agreement of July 1 of this year.
Today we have as our witness the Honourable Michael Wilson, who is, of course, Canada's ambassador to the United States. With Mr. Wilson, we have Andrea Lyon, director general, North America trade policy bureau.
Thank you both very much for coming today.
Your Excellency, it's so good to see you here. I thank you so much for your part in making this deal happen, and I look forward to what you have to say on the deal.
Do you have an opening statement to make?
