We will resume.
We welcome back to our committee, from the Council of Canadians, Steven Shrybman, who has been with us several times before. He is an international trade and public interest lawyer. From the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, we have Brian Lee Crowley, managing director. As an individual, we have Gus Van Harten, associate professor, Osgoode Hall Law School, York University.
We're going to again have brief opening statements. We won't have a lot of time for questions, because we're going to have an opening comment from each. I'm going to ask you to keep them as brief as you can.
Let's begin with Mr. Van Harten.
