We'd like to call the meeting to order.
We want to thank the minister for taking time out of his busy schedule to be with us. He's been around the world in his continual round-the-world trip, and we appreciate the work that he does on behalf of Canada on international trade. It's great to have him here talking about the estimates today.
We encourage the committee to go over to the opening of the Brand India Expo afterwards. We've been invited to go over and take part in it.
Our time is limited, and we want to get started on questions and answers in the time that the minister has. So we'll go right to it. Minister, the floor is yours.
