I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 33 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. For our first panel today, we are going to continue our study on the support for the commercialization of intellectual property.
I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of the witnesses and members.
Interpretation is available. For those on Zoom, you have the choice at the bottom of your screen of floor, English or French. For those in the room, you can use the earpiece and select the desired channel. I will remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair. For members in the room, if you wish to speak, please raise your hand. For the members on Zoom, please use the “raise hand” function. The clerk and I will do our best to maintain a speaking order when appropriate. In accordance with our routine motions, I am informing the committee that all of our witnesses have completed the required connection tests in advance of this meeting.
We will start our meeting with two opening rounds of five minutes each from our presenters.
I now welcome Dr. Beauger to present for five minutes.
The floor is yours.
