We'd like to call our meeting to order.
We want to thank our witnesses for coming forward.
We're into this afternoon's sessions on the discussion and study of the Canada-European Union free trade agreement. We are excited to have our panellists with us. We will yield the floor to them and hear from them, and then we'll get into questions and answers.
From the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, we have Ann Janega, vice-president of the Nova Scotia division. From the Halifax Port Authority, we have George Malec and Cathy McGrail.
Thanks to all of you for being here. We will get started right away.
Ann, the floor is yours.
