We'll begin, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the sixth meeting, of this session, of the Standing Committee on International Trade.
Today we'll continue our review of Bill C-2, An Act to implement the Free Trade Agreement between Canada and the States of the European Free Trade Association.
We'll begin today with witnesses from Irving Shipbuilding. We have Andrew McArthur. Its nice to see you back. Thank you for coming. And from the Shipyard General Workers' Federation, we have George MacPherson, president.
We will begin with an opening statement, from one or both, if you'd like, for 10 minutes, followed by a round of questioning. As usual, the questions will be seven minutes for questions and answers.
We also have Mr. Terry Pugh.
Can you hear my voice, Mr. Pugh?
