I call the meeting to order.
Good morning, everybody. I hope everybody went to see the beef farmers last night. They had lots of beef on the bun.
We're going to continue, but we're not doing TPP this morning.
As we know, CETA is still in the final stages. We had our first opening meeting with the trade officials. They explained how in depth the CETA file is. As everybody knows, we're going to have a delegation from Europe here shortly. That's why we decided that today we would talk about CETA and figure out more details about it, what's in it, and where we're going, so that we are prepared for the members coming from Europe.
We'll begin the meeting by thanking our guests here from the department. We're going to open it up. We usually provide five minutes, but it doesn't matter if you want go over. We're here to learn today, so if it's 10 minutes, we're fine with that. Our whole session is probably going to take an hour and 15 minutes this morning, so we'll go from there and afterwards we'll have new business.
We're going to begin with Mr. Verheul. It's good to see you again.
