Welcome to meeting 15 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on International Trade.
Today's meeting is taking place in the hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of November 25, 2021. Per the directive of the Board of Internal Economy of March 10, 2022, all those attending the meeting in person must wear a mask, except for members who are at their place during proceedings.
I'd like to make a few comments for the benefit of the witnesses and members.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. For those participating by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your mike and please mute yourself when you're not speaking. For those participating via Zoom, you have interpretation options at the bottom of your screen of floor, English or French. I'll remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
Go ahead, Mr. Hoback.
