Colleagues, I call this meeting back to order.
Again this week we are blessed with the presence of Mr. Schaan, who's now almost a permanent member of this committee. He's always here.
Thank you very much for being here with us to answer our questions as we go through clause-by-clause on Bill C-42.
He's accompanied by Martin Simard, who is the senior director, strategy and innovation policy sector at ISED.
Thanks to both of you.
Without further ado, dear colleagues, we will begin clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C‑42.
There is a new clause, clause 0.1.
Go ahead, Mr. Perkins.
