Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon. My name is James Gannon. I'm a lawyer at the firm McCarthy Tétrault in Toronto. I'm really pleased to be here to speak to you and to answer your questions about Bill C-11.
I hope to shed some light on two specific areas of the law.
First off, I will talk about technological protection measures, TPMs or digital locks, as they are often called.
Second, I want to dispel some of the falsehoods surrounding the so-called enablement clause we have heard so much about recently.
I have just a quick introduction about myself first.
I graduated in 2008 from Osgoode Hall Law School. I've been practising at McCarthy Tétrault since then in the areas of technology law and intellectual property. I also have a degree in systems design engineering from the University of Waterloo.
