We'd like to call the meeting to order.
We're continuing our study on the Canada-European Union comprehensive economic and trade agreement, CETA.
We have the privilege today of having with us Her Excellency the Ambassador for the EU. We want to welcome you to Canada in your recent appointment, and we thank you for being with us. You are joined by a colleague, Mr. Mecklenburg.
Mr. Mecklenburg, thank you very much for being here as well.
We look forward to your comments and then to getting into questions and answers. This is a great agreement between our respective jurisdictions. There's been a lot of debate and a lot of negotiation, and it's great to be able to see this signed. We now move on to the next process, which is moving it through our respective parliaments after translation and legal scrubs.
With that, we will yield you the floor and listen to your comments. Then we'll get into questions and answers.
