Order, please.
Welcome to the ninth meeting of this session of the Standing Committee on International Trade. Today we are going to start a discussion of our study of Canada-U.S. trade relations.
This morning we have as witnesses, from the Tourism Industry Association of Canada, Randy Williams, president and chief executive officer, and Christopher Jones, the vice-president of public affairs; and from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Shirley-Ann George, senior vice-president, policy—welcome back, Shirley—and Ryan Stein.
I think we'll start off with our customary opening remarks from the witnesses, and follow with questions from the committee.
I understand, Ms. George, that you have to leave about 10:30. Is that correct?
