Good afternoon, everybody. We'll get started.
Welcome to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
We're pleased to have a number of witnesses with us today as we continue our study on the Canadian entertainment software industry.
We have witnesses today from the Writers Guild of Canada, the Entertainment Software Association of Canada, KPMG, Interactive Ontario, as well as Alliance numérique—they're not here just yet, but I think they're on their way.
We will start with our rounds of opening remarks. Most of you have two witnesses per group, so you have a total of 10 minutes, however you want to divide that up.
Because someone has to go first, we're going to begin with the Writers Guild of Canada, Maureen Parker, executive director, and Kelly Lynne Ashton, director of policy. The floor is yours for your opening remarks.
