Colleagues, we're back in session. We have before us two organizations.
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is represented by Scott Smith, director of intellectual property and innovation policy.
Welcome, Mr. Smith.
Also before us is the Canadian Marketing Association, represented by David Elder, special digital privacy counsel. You'll see another name listed, Wally Hill. I've been advised that he may be bursting through the door at any moment; he's on a delayed flight. He is the senior vice president of government and consumer affairs. Mr. Elder will hold the fort while we're waiting for him.
We'll begin in that order.
Mr. Smith, would you begin your opening remarks, please.
