Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
With that line of questioning we seem to have gone right off the rails. We'll see what we can do to bring it back onto an actual study on intellectual property, rather than a partisan “magic money fairy” witch hunt.
I'm going to start with Mr. Davies. I notice in your background, and I can't help but go there, that you worked with Nortel for 16 years. When we talk about Canadian companies going under, and the intellectual property and what happens to it afterwards...there was of course a gigantic sell-off of the intellectual property that Nortel had. It was over $40 billion. It was actually larger than the bricks and mortar sales of their infrastructure.
Do you think Canada got good value for the investments when the intellectual property was sold off?
