Thank you. I'll just set the stage here.
Good afternoon, Madam Chair and members of the committee.
I am a staff lawyer with the Canadian Bar Association, and we're very pleased to be part of your study.
The Canadian Bar Association, or CBA, is a national association of more than 36,000 lawyers across the country.
The CBA's primary objective is the improvement of the law and the administration of justice. It is with this goal in mind that we are here today on behalf of the Competition Law Section of the CBA.
Our written brief was prepared by the competition law section of the CBA, namely, experts from the foreign investment review committee. With me today are Debbie Salzberger and Michael Kilby, chair and vice-chair of that committee.
I now turn it over to Michael and Debbie to address the main points of our submission.
Thank you.
