Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all of the witnesses who are here today.
I'd like to pose my first questions to Mr. Agnew of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce wrote a joint letter with the Confederation of British Industry, your counterpart in the United Kingdom, to the government on September 21 of this year, explaining that the clock was ticking on a trade deal. That was about two months ago. What prompted you to write that letter?
