We'll begin. Sorry we're a few minutes late getting started.
We are continuing our discussion of Canada-U.S. trade relations, with particular reference to procurement and recent procurement agreements. We have had witnesses for a couple of days on this matter.
Today we have a witness from the Cherubini Group, Steve Ross, the general manager. From the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada we have Guy Caron, national representative, special projects. From the Council of Canadians we have Steven Shrybman, international trade and public interest lawyer. From the Federation of Canadian Municipalities we have Michael Buda, and assisting him is policy analyst Adam Thompson.
We have discussed our format. We're going to begin with ten-minute statements.
Mr. Ross, are you going to give a statement as well, or just answer questions?
