Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Bonjour à tous.
Welcome to the 14th meeting of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology where we're continuing our study of the entertainment software industry in Canada. Before us is the Entertainment Software Association of Canada. We have Jayson Hilchie, president and chief executive officer, along with Julien Lavoie, who is the vice-president of public affairs.
Mr. Hilchie is going to be beginning his opening remarks and both will be available for questions.
Colleagues, we have to keep it pretty tight. We are going to have bells at 5:15 so we have moved some timing around a little bit and I have to do some math.
We'll let Mr. Hilchie go ahead with his opening remarks and then I'll advise you about how much time you'll have for questions.
Please begin, Mr. Hilchie.
