Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the officials from both departments for being here this morning.
I have questions for both departments. I'll start with the officials from Industry Canada, if I could.
When your boss, the minister, was here for the first hour, he spoke to us in very clear terms about how important the burgeoning digital economy is. He described Bill C-32 as complementing the digital media strategy that's also in the process of being developed. Both of these initiatives go hand in hand.
Could you please describe why Bill C-32 is so important for companies like RIM and OpenText, who lead the pack in terms of digital media, digital economy companies, and why Bill C-32 is important for the next RIM and the next OpenText?
