I call the meeting to order.
Good afternoon, everyone. This is meeting number 5 of the Legislative Committee on Bill C-32.
Today, first of all, I'd like to thank our three witnesses. We have Pina D'Agostino, professor of intellectual property at Osgoode Hall Law School at York University. Second is Professor Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair of Internet and e-commerce law at the University of Ottawa. Finally we have Barry Sookman, partner at McCarthy Tétrault and co-chair of the technology law group there.
On behalf of the committee, I'd like to thank all three of our witnesses for appearing today on such short notice. Thank you very much.
We will start with a five-minute presentation from Professor Pina D'Agostino.
