Honourable members, we are back.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, October 5, 2022, this is Bill C-244, an act to amend the Copyright Act (diagnosis, maintenance and repair). We are going to go through it clause-by-clause.
I want to highlight that we have with us, from the Department of Industry, Patrick Blanar, director, copyright and trademark policy directorate, joining us by Zoom; and Pierre-Luc Racine, policy adviser, copyright and trademark policy directorate, also with us by Zoom, to answer any questions we may have.
You are all familiar with the process. It's not the first time you have gone through this, and hopefully it will go smoothly as we go through clause-by-clause.
We have gone through this only once, so bear with me. I am still relatively inexperienced.
(On clause 1)
Shall clause 1 carry?
