Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
My question is for Mr. Brenders, here representing BIOTECanada. You said that the crisis was hitting biotechnology firms very hard and that foreign competition is a reality. You even said, in one of your comments—that were very good, by the way—, that the patent situation in Canada was lagging behind.
You seemed to be inferring that in the sector that you represent, your companies are losing ground or will lose ground if the government does not adopt measures or assistance programs.
Is that correct?
