I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 32 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Science and Research.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format pursuant to the House order of June 23, 2022. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application.
Today, we are beginning our study of the support for the commercialization of intellectual property.
I'd like to make a few comments for the benefit of witnesses and members.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. For those taking part by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your mike, and please mute yourself when you are not speaking. For interpretation on Zoom, you can select, at the bottom corner of your screen, English, French or floor. I will remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
I now would like to welcome our witnesses to our committee.
Each of you will have five minutes. I will do my best to get your attention when you have roughly a minute left. If you could keep it within five minutes, that would be beneficial.
For opening statements, we'll first hear from Mr. McLean.
