I'd like to call to order meeting number 65 of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Thursday, May 17, 2007, we are studying Bill C-47, an act respecting the protection of marks related to the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games and protection against certain misleading business associations and making a related amendment to the Trade-marks Act.
We have two sessions today. The first is from 3:30 to 4:30, with representatives from the Department of Industry.
We have three representatives. First, we have Ms. Susan Bincoletto, the director general of the marketplace framework policy branch. We've been keeping you very busy, Ms. Bincoletto. Thank you for coming before us again.
We also have Ms. Julie D'amours, counsel with legal services. Welcome.
In place of Douglas Clark, we have Darlene Carreau, counsel in legal services as well.
Ms. Bincoletto, I think you'll be doing the address today, so begin any time.
Thank you.
