Thank you, Chair.
Ms. D’Agostino, thank you for being here today.
I love your analogy in the beginning with Dr. Best and Dr. Banting, of course for insulin. I'm from Belleville, Ontario, and we had Dr. Collip.
Dr. Collip, I think, is the best analogy for Canada. He was the unsung hero. He was one of the co-inventors of insulin and played a major role, but no one really knew about him. I think that's how Canada is set. We play a major role in developing IP, having institutions, major research and applied research, but we have this problem of not being able to keep it. We're helping other countries a lot of the time.
I really want to focus on your expertise in IP law. Are there aspects of Canadian IP law that are holding our innovators back, compared with other western nations? If so, how can we change them?
