I call to order meeting number 110 of the Standing Committee on International Trade.
Before we begin, I need to ask all members and other in-person participants to consult the cards on the table for guidelines to prevent audio feedback incidents.
Please take note of the following preventive measures in place to protect the health and safety of all participants: Use only an approved black earpiece. Keep your earpiece away from all microphones at all times. When you are not using the earpiece, please place it face down on the sticker that's on the table.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format. For members in the room, please raise your hand if you wish to speak. For members on Zoom, please use the “raise hand” function. We will manage the speaking order.
