Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Lazaridis and Mr. Crow, for being here today. Thank you for your presentation at the beginning. I think you were very candid about the facts relating to this and in giving us your personal insights on the importance of high technology to the future of Canada.
I want to make sure with my questions that I fully understand the situation. I'm going to ask you some questions that are a bit candid in the sense of trying to make sure that I understand what we're talking about.
