Thank you very much, Ms. Osmond.
Just to remind the committee, in previous meetings the committee agreed to study Canada's trade and investment policy in our major markets. Of course, we also have agreed to identify specific problems and try to make specific recommendations for solutions. Since the United States—and we agreed to this before—is Canada's largest trade and investment partner, then of course the United States is a key part of the study.
At the subcommittee, as you'll see later, we will recommend that because of the time left, we'll have meetings going until the Christmas break, and this is part of that. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss Canada-U.S. trade and investment issues. The goal is to begin to understand the current issues that may impede Canadians' ability to do business with the United States.
Your presentation, Ms. Osmond, is very much appreciated. There will be, of course, more meetings on this in the months ahead, but today, again, we appreciate your coming very much.
Going to the questions, first is Mr. Eyking.
