Thank you very much, Mr. Dodds.
It's a very challenging time for sure, for many companies and employees, and we've heard that quite a bit from our witnesses. Thank you for coming.
I'd like to do some welcoming here of some visitors to our committee today. From across the Atlantic Ocean, we have a crew here from the European Union. We had the pleasure to have an informal meeting with them beforehand. They are from the European Economic and Social Committee.
Again, welcome, folks, to the Canadian international trade committee.
I'd also like to welcome MPs who are visiting here. With us today we have MPs Sikand, Morrissey, Wong and Trudel.
Welcome. You're going to find out that this is one of the most exciting committees on the Hill.
