Good morning everyone, and welcome, especially colleagues. We had a very rough day, a tragic day, here in the House yesterday. My sympathies go to all of my colleagues, especially to the Conservatives and those who were really close to Gord.
Gord would want us to continue, so we're going to continue with today's meeting. Today's meeting is all about studying a potential Canada-Mercosur free trade agreement.
I think this is our final meeting, and we're saving our best witnesses for last. We have three witnesses with us, and one through video.
If you haven't been here before, let me tell you that we like to keep the presentation to five minutes, or less if possible, to give ourselves time to have dialogue with MPs.
I'm going to go right into the video conference. We have, from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Mr. Sinclair.
Welcome, sir. I think you were with us before.
