I'm going to call this meeting to order.

Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the 15th meeting of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates. We are reaching the third or fourth week of our study into the effectiveness of the Office of Small and Medium Enterprises, OSME, and the Canadian innovation commercialization program. Further to that study, we have witnesses today, in person, from Virtual Marine Technology Incorporated. Captain Anthony Patterson is the president and chief executive officer.

Good afternoon, Captain Patterson.

By video conference from Edmonton, Alberta, we'd like to welcome Geoff Hayward, the president and chief executive officer of DataGardens.

Welcome, Mr. Hayward. Can you hear us in Edmonton?
