Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for being here today.
I'm going to start with you, Mr. Durand.
I'm quite interested in the following, and noticed that my colleague Mr. Cannings sort of asked you this question. I wouldn't mind hearing a little bit more about your May 10 event, in particular with respect to, perhaps, women and IP and the gender innovation gap that you sort of alluded to in your presentation. We know there's a gender gap with respect to women in every profession. Obviously from what we have heard you say this morning, it's a pretty large gap when it comes to innovation and what we're talking about here.
Can you tell us a little bit more, in terms of your studies in Quebec, in Canada and anywhere else in the world, about how we compare?
