Thank you, Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for being here virtually. We hope everyone is doing well in their respective areas of the country.
I wish first to speak to Michael. Greetings to beautiful British Columbia, my birth province and home province for many years. I'll be out there to see my family, my folks, over the holidays.
You did make a comment, and I do wish you could start off on it in terms of order-making powers or order-making ability.
Each of you has a very important role, I would say, in today's world of innovation, technology and data. Data is the new oil of the 21st century.
Could you comment on that order-making ability?
