Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Bienvenue à tous. Welcome to the seventh meeting of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Monday, October 28, 2013, we are considering Bill C-8, An Act to amend the Copyright Act and the Trade-marks Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts. Today we'll be considering it clause by clause.
Pursuant to Standing Order 75(1), consideration of clause 1 shall be delayed.
First I'll go Ms. Charlton, who wants to raise a point. It was agreed among the parties that she would do that first.
