Bienvenue. Welcome, everybody. Welcome to our parliamentary trade committee from Ottawa.
As you're here talking, you know what we're doing now is our study on the TPP. We're reaching out to Canadians, stakeholders, and individuals on repercussions, advantages, and disadvantages in how the TPP can affect Canadians.
We've done the western provinces already, and we've been doing Quebec these last two days. Then we're going to Ontario. We'll finish up with the Maritimes and Atlantic Canada, and then the territories.
We're also talking to people in Ottawa and representatives of companies. We're talking to representatives of other countries.
We're trying to get a snapshot of how TPP impacts Canadians, and we'll be presenting this report to the House of Commons.
I welcome our guests in our final panel, panel three, this morning. We have with us the Canadian Union of Public Employees, the Organization of Democratic Unions, the Confederation of National Unions, and the Québec Port Authority.
Folks, each group has five minutes. Try to keep to five minutes, if you can. After that we'll have a dialogue with the MPs.
We're going to begin with the Union of Public Employees. Who will start off?
Mr. Bolduc, go ahead for five minutes, sir.
