Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you for being here, Mr. Finlayson and Mr. Maynard. We appreciate your time.

I want to start with Mr. Finlayson.

You talked about the 385,000 businesses in B.C. and how a small segment of them will ultimately benefit from this trade agreement. Are there certain members of your organization that will benefit more than others? Can you foresee a certain sector or category of businesses that could immediately see benefits from this trade agreement, versus some others that may not even be interested in exporting?
