Once again, I cannot control what comes out of the witness' testimony, but I will cut people off. I'm just forewarning you or else we won't get through it on Thursday. That's where we are.
We now have.... I will remind everybody that we're not televised. The first hour was televised, but we are in public right now.
This morning we have from the Department of Industry, Mark Schaan, director general, marketplace framework policy branch, strategic policy sector; Konstantinos Georgaras, director general, Canadian intellectual property office, corporate strategies and services branch; and Alison McDermott, director general, program coordination branch.
Today, we're getting a technical briefing on intellectual property and tech transfer in Canada.
Mr. Schaan, the floor is yours.
