Thank you, Chair.
I want to say hello again to Mr. Balsillie. I don't know if you've made the connection, but I was a journalist in Hamilton during basically all the years you were trying to bring an NHL team there. Gary Bettman sneered in my face when I brought up the idea with him, but I just want to say that your efforts were very appreciated in Hamilton during all those years.
I'll pick up where my colleague Ms. DeRidder left off and give you a chance to expand.
When you were running Research in Motion, I think you had 44,000 to 45,000 patents in your name. You are a person in Canada who has more IP than maybe anyone else. That wasn't 30 years ago. It was a long time ago, but really, what has changed since then? Why were you able to build a huge company in Canada—Research in Motion—and get all these patents? Today, we're struggling to do the same.
