Thank you, Mr. Chair. Welcome to our witnesses.
I'm going to start with Mr. Greer.
Mr. Greer, we've known each other for a long time. When I was involved with an organization called QuinteVation, you were involved with the group called Accelerate Okanagan and a program called RevUP.
You knew your stuff, especially for rural innovation. You knew your stuff about scaling companies. I think what you're doing is almost IP commercialization 2.0, because social purpose organizations or, as we used to call them, social enterprises, are really focused on great things that are changing the landscape of Canada on housing, inclusivity and all the different things you mentioned. I think the biggest number that was amazing was the $192 billion of impact for Canada. That's pretty amazing.
I'm going to start with some questions for you.
Why is scaling IP not just about patents?
