I call the meeting to order. I see that the time is 11 o'clock. We have our witnesses with us today, and we have enough of our members to carry on with the meeting. We will start.
We'd like to, first of all, thank the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, and Jean-Michel Laurin, vice-president of global business policy, for coming in today.
As well, from the Canada Europe Roundtable for Business, we have the Honourable Roy MacLaren, the Canadian chairman, as well as Jason Langrish, the executive director. Mr. MacLaren will start, I believe.
We would entertain your intervention in this important study we're doing on CETA, the EU-Canada free trade agreement. We'll yield the floor to you for a 10-minute period. Then we'll have the intervention by Mr. Laurin and move on to questions and answers.
