Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Bonjour à tous.
This is the 11th meeting of the parliamentary Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology. It's again on e-commerce and electronic payments.
I'll briefly introduce the witnesses before us. From Xplornet, we have John Maduri, the chief executive officer. From Globalive, we have Ante Rupcic, vice-president of core network. From UPS Canada, we have Gordon Reed, director of customer solutions. From Google, we have Jacob Glick, Canada policy counsel.
I understand that Mr. Glick has to leave at 5 p.m. So after the opening statements, if you have any questions for Mr. Glick, make sure that you ask those first.
I'm going to follow the order on the agenda in front of us, and I'll begin with Mr. Maduri. You have six minutes for opening remarks. I have to stay close to that timeframe, so please don't take it personally if I cut you off.
Mr. Maduri, go ahead, for six minutes.
