Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here.
I have two questions, so what I'm going to do is just read them out, and then maybe get the panel's opinion on them.
You mentioned skilled labour challenges. Are there any recommendations you could make to the government with regard to immigration policy? Are there ways to improve the ability of ethnocultural communities to trade within different regions by improving our immigration policy? That's question one.
The other question is with regard to free trade agreements. I'm just wondering what your thoughts are. Do these free trade agreements help the ethnocultural communities facilitate trade around the world, and should we be pursuing more free trade agreements? If so, are there countries that you could recommend that would be priorities?
With that I'll be quiet. Maybe we can start with Mr. Sochaj and move across the panel.
