Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to meeting number 29 of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology.
We have quite a selection of witnesses before us this morning and we have two panels.
I'm going to go very quickly: from Bereskin and Parr, Amrita Singh and Scott MacKendrick; from the Canadian Bar Association, Omar Wakil, who is the chair of the foreign investment review committee; from the Intellectual Property Institute of Canada, David Schwartz and Stephen Perry; and from the United Steelworkers, Mark Rowlinson.
I take it that everybody's been briefed about five minutes for opening comments, is that correct? So we'll begin with Bereskin and Parr.
