I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to our witnesses and to our committee members.
This is meeting number 25 of the Standing Committee on International Trade.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Thursday, February 12, the committee is going to start its study on recent developments in Canada's trade relations with China and with Qatar.
Before we get into hearing from our witnesses, I want to turn the floor over to Mr. Savard-Tremblay for a moment.
