I call the meeting to order.
I would ask members to take their seats so that we can continue our exciting study on the benefits of Canada joining the Pacific Alliance as a full member. We are there with observer status. We started this study at our last meeting.
We have with us today Ambassador Lloreda Ricaurte. Thank you for being here. You're the ambassador for Colombia, and we certainly welcome the bilateral trade agreement we have between our two countries, and we look forward to what you have to share with the committee with regard to the potential of the Pacific Alliance.
With that, we will hear a short presentation from you and then we'll get into the questions and answers. Go ahead.
