Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It is my pleasure to introduce my colleagues and let them do all the work.
I will be answering your questions.
Kirsten Hillman is the director general for trade policy negotiations bureau. We have Barbara Martin, who is director general, Middle East and Maghreb bureau. Ken Macartney is the director general for South and Southeast Asia and Oceania. Neil Reeder is the director general for Latin America and the Caribbean.
If there is an order in which they wish to make their brief remarks, I wasn't advised of it, so Kirsten, you have the floor.
