Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to the sixth meeting of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology, where we're hearing evidence with regard to Bill C-8, An Act to amend the Copyright Act and the Trade-marks Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts.
Before us in person we have Kevin Spreekmeester, vice-president of marketing for Canada Goose, and via teleconference we have Joy Nott, the president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Association of Importers and Exporters.
I will follow the agenda that is before us.
By the way, colleagues, you'll see that we have time set aside between 5 and 5:30 for committee business. I think we have a committee budget that we're going to deal with, along with some other items.
Now we'll go to the witnesses.
Yes, Mr. Bélanger?
