Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It's great to have you here.
Today we have a special guest, Minister Ed Fast, the Minister of International Trade.
Welcome, Minister Fast.
Pursuant to Standing Order 81(4), we are considering the main estimates of 2015-16, vote 1 under the Canadian Commercial Corporation, as referred to the committee on Tuesday, February 2015. The minister is here to speak on that, and a few other things, I'm sure.
Minister, I'll turn the floor over to you.
