Colleagues, we are going to resume the second half of our witness testimony today. We have a number of new witnesses, all of whom are here in the room with us.
We have Chad Bayne, partner, founder, and co-chair of Emerging and High Growth Companies, Osler. We have Mark McQueen, founder of Wellington Growth Partners Incorporated. From the Leaders Fund, we have David Stein, co-founder and managing partner, and Gideon Hayden, co-founder and managing partner.
There are upwards of five minutes—and I will stress upwards—for your introductory remarks. We are running behind, so I'm going to be a little bit more stringent with my cut-off time in this second hour here.
Please do your best to be succinct. You saw how things work here. If you haven't been a witness before, please ensure that if your earpiece is plugged in, but not on your ear, keep it on the sticker in front of you. If it's not plugged in, there's nothing to worry about, although I'm sure there will be questions posed in French throughout the course of the testimony today.
With that, Mr. Bayne, we'll go to you first. You have upwards of five minutes.
