Good morning, everyone.
Welcome to the Standing Committee on International Trade. Some say it's the most vibrant and active one on the Hill. We get a lot of things done.
We've been very busy the last few years with the various trade agreements. We did a lot of travelling, especially all through the United States in the last couple of years, dealing with this agreement.
Today we're talking about Bill C-100. We're doing the pre-study. This is the third panel we're having.
Welcome, folks. Thank you for making it here on such short notice. Many of you travelled across the country to be here with us today. It's an important agreement. It has a big impact on many Canadians.
Many of you have been here before. We hope you will do a presentation of around five minutes, give or take. That gives us lots of time for dialogue with the MPs.
Without further ado, I think we'll get right into it.
We'll start off with Chief Perry Bellegarde from the Assembly of First Nations.
Welcome again, sir. It's not your first time here.
