I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 61 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, November 30, 2022, we are considering Bill C‑294, An Act to amend the Copyright Act (interoperability).

I want to begin by thanking all the witnesses who are joining us today on this Wednesday afternoon, and offer our apologies on behalf of the committee for the brief delay in starting the meeting. We had to vote in the House.
Without further ado, Mr. Lemire, you have the floor.
