I would like to call the meeting to order.
I want to thank the witnesses for coming forward.
We have with us today, on a continued study of the European Union and Canada CETA negotiations, for the Grain Growers of Canada, Richard Phillips, the executive director, as well as Jim Gowland, past president of the Canadian Soybean Council. Also, for the Canadian Chamber of Commerce we have Mathias Hartpence and Milos Barutciski.
We want to thank you for being here.
We would open the floor up to the chamber first. I believe Mr. Hartpence is the first presenter.
