Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for the opportunity to chat about this pending free trade agreement.
I'll start with you, Mr. Roy. Some of your comments at the beginning were that a big benefit of the free trade agreement is the geographical proximity with Colombia. Can you expand on what then is...? Why even go down the Ecuador path if your focus is really Colombia? I also hope you can touch a bit on the 2019 blockade and give the committee a bit more information on that as we go into some of the deliberations on whatever sort of final report or statement comes out of this study.
