Good morning, everyone, and welcome.
Before I get started with this meeting, on behalf of the committee I'd like to pass on condolences to our Ontario colleagues, and of course their staff, who are going through a rough time following the tragedy in Toronto. It's going to be a rough few days, so our thoughts are with you, and we'll work together on getting everybody through this.
We're going to continue with our study today. It's our third meeting on Mercosur and the opportunities and challenges of a potential agreement with those countries. We're honoured to have with us three different stakeholders.
By video conference we have the Fisheries Council of Canada, and at the table we have the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association and Armstrong Fluid Technology.
Welcome, gentlemen. If this is your first time at a committee, we like to keep it to five minutes or under if you can, so we can have lots of room for dialogue with our MPs.
Without further ado, we're going to go right to Mr. Robert Dietrich. Welcome, sir, and you have the floor.
