Thank you, Mr. Aitchison.
Before we go any further, I know I should have mentioned this yesterday but I will say it right now. For those who are outside and watching us through the Internet, I should explain exactly who the speaker you just heard, Mr. Ripley, is. Thomas Ripley is director general of the broadcasting, copyright and creative marketplace branch of the Department of Canadian Heritage.
I should have done that yesterday. You have my apologies, Mr. Ripley. You have been a bit of a mystery man to a lot of the people watching over the past day and a half, but now you're not.
Mr. Rayes, you have the floor.
