That's great. Thank you.
In your opening statements, I think all of you made some very important remarks about IP, and I think it was pretty unanimous that we do have to protect our intellectual property. Certainly there are different approaches and views as to how to do that, and where we should be headed. Mr. Tortorice brought up Japan, which of course has a different IP regime, which is more focused on receiving those internal strategic benefits of holding IP so that it benefits their local businesses in a significant way. Michigan is perhaps also moving in that kind of direction.
On that front, of course, we've had some large cases in Canada--for instance, if you look at Nortel, in which huge volumes of IP were sold off, and we just most recently had changes to the Investment Canada Act that are raising the threshold. In any case, if just intellectual property is sold off, that's not subject to review under the act. We've been trying for a while to get this committee to start a study on the Investment Canada Act, and as yet we've been unsuccessful.
Perhaps across the board in the remaining time each of you could perhaps offer an opinion as to whether you think it would be valuable to look at including intellectual property in the Investment Canada Act, so that we don't sell it all off.
