I will call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting 108 of the Standing Committee on International Trade.
I have a quick message about audio feedback. To all members and people participating in person, you'll see a little card on your desk and a place where you can put your earpiece when not in use. These measures will protect the health and safety of all participants, including our interpreters.
Some of you are participating virtually. This is a hybrid format. To members in the room, raise your hand if you want to speak. For members on Zoom, please use the “raise hand” function. The clerk and I will manage the speaking order as best we can.
Before we get to the witnesses, we have a couple of items we must deal with. I hope we'll deal with them very quickly so we can get on to the study.
You should have received a copy of the revised travel budget from the clerk. Is the committee in agreement to adopt the budget in the amount of $162,031.38 for the committee's proposed travel to Ecuador?
