Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses. I very much appreciate you being here.
I'm going to continue with my colleague's line of questioning on the declaration of use form. But first I want you, as lawyers, to give me your opinion. Free legal advice, who knew?
We got some information on amendments related to the international treaties on trademarks for Bill C-31, and one of the comments was that litigation outcomes are determined on actual use of a trademark in the marketplace. In other words, they're not based on filling out a form or not filling out a form. They're based on actual use. Is that correct or is that not correct?
