Good afternoon, everybody. Pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, October 1, 2014, we are examining Bill C-41, an act to implement the free trade agreement between Canada and the Republic of Korea.
We have two witnesses in the first hour and we have two witnesses in the second hour. In the first hour it will be a video conference. We have Mr. Stanford, an economist with Unifor. Then we have Mr. John Masswohl, director of government and international relations of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association, who is joining us by teleconference.
Colleagues, when you are addressing Mr. Masswohl in your questions, you'll have to say his name if your question is going to him. Because he is teleconferenced, he is not seeing your body language or your activity, so I'll just remind you if you have a question for him to refer to him.
That being said, we will proceed with Mr. Stanford for 10 minutes.
