Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

A little earlier, there was a question about the financial impact of counterfeiting. The Canadian Association of Importers and Exporters believes that the financial impact of counterfeiting and the identity theft of intellectual products is between $20 and $30 billion per year.

You also said that all counterfeit goods come mainly from abroad and that not many are manufactured in Canada. Can you confirm this?
