I want call the meeting back to order and welcome the officials now participating in the second panel.
From the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, we have Steve Verheul, chief trade negotiator and assistant deputy minister, trade policy and negotiations; and Ms. Kendal Hembroff, director general, trade policy and negotiations.
The committee heard from the officials on this file on March 11, 2020, and this meeting today is to give us a bit of an update.
For the information of the committee, we will be stopping the witnesses at 2:45 so that we can do some committee business for a few minutes.
Thank you very much.
Mr. Verheul, you have the floor.
