Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Tuesday. Welcome, panellists.
We're doing the TPP right now, how it affects Canadians and other countries. We have a very busy committee. We're dealing with softwood lumber and the TPP; we're finishing up the European agreement, but our main focus is on the TPP.
We've travelled to the western provinces already, as well as Ontario and Quebec. We'll be doing the Atlantic provinces in the fall. We'll be connecting with the territories also in the fall. We have been taking submissions from Canadians across the country, and MPs will be hosting some town halls. We'll be getting all that information. We're hoping to have this study done by the end of the year to present to Parliament.
Today we're going to be focusing on the effects the TPP will have on the indigenous community. We're appreciative of the witnesses who are coming forward today.
We have, as an individual, by video conference from B.C., Mr. Hunter. Good morning, it's good to see you.
