Thank you. I love democracy.
I'd like to thank our guests for being here today.
I'd like to join our side, Mr. MacLaren, in saying that you've had a very distinguished career, and we'd like to thank you for your service to our country in so many facets of what you've been involved with.
Mr. Langrish, I'd like to understand a little more about the Canada Europe Roundtable. I know that it's been around for a dozen years. As I understand it, you've been advocating free trade with Europe for quite some time. I'm trying to understand from your perspective, in terms of the activities you do, why free trade with the EU is so essential. What do you think your members hope to gain as a result of this?
