The Chair NDP Pat Martin

I'm going to call to order the 10th meeting of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates in the 41st Parliament.

Today we are gathering to study the effectiveness of the Office of Small and Medium Enterprises and of the Canadian innovation commercialization program.

We have witnesses before us. From the AMITA Corporation we have Monica Preston, president. Good afternoon.

From Bubble Technology Industries, Inc. we have Lianne Ing, vice-president, who perhaps is not quite with us yet. But we do have Mr. Karna Gupta, the president and CEO of the Information Technology Association of Canada. Welcome, Mr. Gupta.

Before we start, Mr. McCallum, you have a question.
