I call the meeting to order.
This is meeting number 112 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 preventative measures in place to protect the health and safety of all participants, including our interpreters.
Use only a black, approved earpiece. Keep your earpiece away from all microphones at all times. When you're not using the microphone, please place it face down on the sticker on the table.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format. For anyone who wishes to speak, please raise your hand. If any technical issues arise, we will suspend until those are corrected.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, the committee is resuming its study of the 2026 CUSMA review.
We're very happy to have Minister Ng with us today, the Minister of Export Promotion, International Trade and Economic Development.
It's terrific to have you here. You haven't been here for a little while, so it's especially nice to have you here today.
