I'm sorry for the late start.
We have a lot of conversations going on this morning, but I do want to get to our witnesses today and continue our study of Bill C-24, An Act to implement the Free Trade Agreement between Canada and the Republic of Peru.
With us today from the Canadian Environmental Law Association we have Theresa McClenaghan; from the United Steelworkers, Mark Rowlinson; and as an individual, Maxwell Cameron, who is a professor at the University of British Columbia's Department of Political Science and has some familiarity, I understand, with Peru.
With that, if everyone's ready to go, I think we can go for an hour from the time we start here and then we're going to have to go to clause-by-clause. When we get that done, we have some pretty important business today, including consideration of additional witnesses, Thursday's agenda, and also the upcoming visit. That will have to be done following our witness presentations today.
With that, I would like to begin. I will ask Theresa McClenaghan, from the Canadian Environmental Law Association, to begin. We will go with five- to ten-minute opening statements from each of our witnesses and then go to questions.
Ms. McClenaghan.
