Thank you, Chair. If I have any time left over, I'd like to share it with MP Dong.

I'd like to thank the witnesses for making time for the committee.

My questions are for Mr. Georgaras. You spoke about the challenges that are involved in this current regime with regard to the complexity, the process and the time to acquire IP.

Could you focus on the complexity part of it? Why is this regime so inherently complex, and how can we make it more accessible to small businesses, to start-ups, to under-represented groups?
