Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to our Standing Committee on International Trade. Today is the first day of our study on progressive Canadian enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises through electronic commerce. We have four witnesses presenting today.
First, I would like to thank all of you for coming today on short notice. This study came forward only a week or so ago, and we appreciate that you were able to come here so soon. For anybody who has not presented before a committee before, we usually try to keep it to five minutes or under. We appreciate that. That gives us lots of time to have dialogue with the MPs afterwards. If for some reason you don't get all your thoughts forward, you can incorporate them as the dialogue goes on.
Without further ado, we're going to start with the Canadian Freelance Union, Unifor, with Ethan Clarke, vice-president.
Go ahead, sir, you have the floor.
