Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to our witnesses. I appreciate your coming to provide your insight on the discussions that are ongoing on this very important Trans-Pacific Partnership.
I'd like to congratulate you, Mr. Anderson, for founding your organization OpenMedia. You mentioned HootSuite. I represent Kelowna—Lake Country. Ryan Holmes, the founder of HootSuite, is from the Okanagan as well. I had a chance to meet him. It's a great success story. Somebody in senior high got a computer, didn't have electricity in his rural area, and took battery cables from his parents' car to operate his computer. Today he's hiring hundreds of Canadians and is an international success story.
I think the Internet has such great potential. It's exciting, and obviously a challenge as well to manage innovation, technology, and research. One of the comments I noticed on your website says, “Don't censor the Internet”. Maybe you could expand your thoughts on the Internet.
Is free communication not to have any controls at all? Is that your perspective from OpenMedia? What is government's role?
