Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to our witnesses for coming to this important study today.

Professor Karim, I'm going to start with you, if I may, sir. The president of the university was in front of this committee a little while back in an earlier study. An alarming statistic is that in Canada we lose 75% of our computer science graduates and software engineers to the United States.

I'm curious to know what the rate is for intellectual property. Do we see the same rate of its leaving, of venture capital coming in and taking that IP out of Canada? If we do, how do we stop it from leaving?
