I call the meeting to order.
Good morning, everybody. Welcome back.
We are going to continue with our study on the TPP and the challenges and the opportunities that the TPP gives to Canadians.
Welcome to the crew from Yellowknife.
Just to give you a little update, we've been travelling the country since last year. We did most of the provinces. We still have Atlantic Canada to do next week. We will do the territories—you guys—today, and we will probably hear from the Yukon and maybe some others from the territories, some mining associations, and different groups. Sometime in October we will be finishing our study and will probably be presenting to Parliament next year.
That said, welcome. You were already briefed on how we proceed. We have members of Parliament here from all parts of the country and we will hear your submissions. If you can keep them to five minutes, we would appreciate it, then we will have lots of time for a dialogue with you.
My name is Mark Eyking. I'm the chair.
We are good to go. Who wants to start? Maybe it could be the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment. Courtney, do you want to go ahead?
