Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This is a fascinating discussion. I have way more questions than I'm ever going to get to.
I want to focus first on what I see as a disconnect between the type of conversation we're having today—conversations at a legal level—and the level of understanding of intellectual property among entrepreneurs, potential entrepreneurs, researchers, and inventors. What scares me the most is developing some form of regime where we take Canada's best and brightest and have them all working as lawyers—no offence to the lawyers in the room—instead of as inventors and innovators who are creating things. How do we find that balance to ensure we have a regime that makes sense and encourages innovation, but a regime that is not so complex that we need every second Canadian working as a lawyer to understand it?
