Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here. I want to thank the Conference Board of Canada for the work they do and for being non-partisan. I think it's very important that we have that perspective. The government's responsibility is to create an atmosphere in which business can thrive, be prosperous, and create jobs, so focusing on the importance of the Internet and of ICT for small and medium-sized businesses is so important.
First of all, I want to talk to Mr. Collins. You come from one of the most beautiful parts of Canada.
