I would like to welcome everybody to the 14th meeting of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology, this May 6, 2010. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are here for the study of Canada's foreign ownership rules and regulations in the telecommunications sector.
In front of us today we have two witnesses, both as individuals. We have Professor Morck, who is a professor at the department of finance and management science in the school of business at the University of Alberta. We have Associate Professor Hejazi, who is an associate professor of international business at the Rotman School of Management in the University of Toronto.
So welcome to you both.
We'll begin with an opening statement from Mr. Morck.
