Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, guests, for being here today.
I'm going to move very quickly. I am going to focus most of my questions to the gentleman from RIM.
All of us carry a BlackBerry or a smart phone of some sort. We are relying on this more and more. I know our last study at the industry committee was talking about e-commerce and the digital economy. We use this more and more for even things like health care.
For example, there is a great company in Sudbury, in my riding, called Carenet. You can actually get an email and see a video if your senior parent hasn't taken their medication yet. We're going to be relying on this technology more and more.
What we are hearing in the news is that one smart phone company is suing another smart phone company, which is suing another smart phone company, all over patents. Will these costly lawsuits have an impact on the cost of handsets and the price the consumers will have to pay in the long run?
