We will come to order. The tenth meeting is in session of the Standing Committee on International Trade.
Today, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), a study of chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, we have as witnesses Steven Shrybman, legal counsel, from the Council of Canadians; and from Équiterre, Hugo Séguin, public affairs coordinator, and William Amos, their lawyer.
We're going to start with a couple of opening statements, first from Mr. Shrybman, then from Mr. Séguin. If we're all set, I'd like to begin. We'll follow that with questions in the usual manner.
Go ahead, Mr. Shrybman.
