I call the meeting to order.
Welcome. We were delayed by a vote in the House, so I apologize to our witnesses, who have been very patient, and most particularly to Ms. Healy, who has been more than patient, having had to go through this twice.
We will continue our discussion of Bill C-46, an act to implement the free trade agreement between Canada and the Republic of Panama, as well as the agreement on the environment between Canada and the Republic of Panama and the agreement on labour cooperation between Canada and the Republic of Panama.
We will hear from three witnesses today. We have--returning from a previous meeting that had to be cancelled because of votes--Teresa Healy, who is a senior researcher of social and economic policy development with the Canadian Labour Congress.
Welcome back. You'll have any time you need today.
We have something a little different today. We have a video conference, as all those around the table can see, but we also have a teleconference.
First, from Panama City and the Environmental Advocacy Center, we have Félix Wing Solís, executive director.
Mr. Solís, can you hear me?
