We'd like to call the meeting to order. We'll ask members to take their seats.
This morning, pursuant Standing Order 108(2), we are commencing our study of the trade relationship with Brazil.
We have with us, from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Neil Reeder, director general, Latin America and Caribbean. Susan Harper is on our schedule, and I believe she is a little late and will be coming in around noon, or something like that. Then we have Don McDougall.
Thank you for being here.
I understand, Mr. Reeder, that you're going to start us off with a bit of a presentation, and then we'll open it up for questions and answers. The floor is yours, sir.
