Ladies and gentlemen, bonjour à tous. Welcome to the third meeting of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology.
Today we have before us Mr. Wayne Edwards, from the Canadian Anti-Counterfeiting Network. From the Canadian Standards Association we have before us Katalin Molnar, manager, global intellectual property protection. From the Intellectual Property Institute of Canada we have Cynthia Rowden, chair, subcommittee on Bill C-8, and past president. We have as a returning guest Dr. Michael Geist, Canada research chair in Internet and e-commerce law, University of Ottawa, and he is representing himself as an individual.
I have some premonition that we may be short of time. I know you've probably prepared remarks that are up to 10 minutes, but if you're able to cut them down a bit so we can get a maximum amount of profitability out of the meeting, that would be great.
We'll begin with Mr. Edwards.
