Welcome, Minister, ladies and gentlemen, public servants. I'm happy to have you with us today.
You are already familiar with my riding, which you have visited. It is located in a northern suburb of Montreal, and it is home to many businesses in the aerospace industry, as well as agrifood processing companies. There are also automotive parts companies, but also many maple and apple producers.
I would like to be able to tell my constituents what business opportunities will be available to small and medium-sized businesses in the new agreement that has been signed, the CPTPP.
