Members of the committee, I guess it's general practice that when we have witnesses we do the business of the committee after the witnesses are gone.
I'd like to welcome Minister Oda and Ms. Ievers. Thank you for being here.
The minister has advised me that she'll be speaking for about 10 minutes, which will give us an opportunity to question her. I hope you all have the speaking notes in front of you.
Without further ado, Minister, the floor is yours.
