I call this meeting to order.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Thursday, May 23, 2024, the committee is commencing a study of the trade impacts of Canada's leadership in reducing emissions.
We are very happy to have with us today, from the Department of Finance, Michael Mosier, director, international trade policy division. From the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, we have Emmanuelle Lamoureux, director general, international economic policy planning and horizontal issues division, and Shawn Morton, senior adviser, international economic policy planning and horizontal issues division.
I'm interested to know what the horizontal issues division specifically is as we go through these questions.
Welcome. We appreciate your taking the time out of your own schedules to come and share the information that the committee wants to know today. We appreciate it.
I understand that Ms. Lamoureux will be making an opening statement on behalf of the group, for up to five minutes.
The floor is yours, Ms. Lamoureux.
