Industry committee  Yes.

Industry committee  I can tell you that this was a key point in our development. Most people probably know Club Penguin, which was conceived by some Vancouver residents and purchased by Disney. Webkinz was a Toronto creation. We created GalaXseeds for Corus Entertainment in Toronto. There was a point in the history of video games where Canada was the leader of the strongest children's game trend, called multiplayer online games, or MMOs, an acronym for the English term massively multiplayer online games.

Industry committee  At first we started doing servicing. That servicing helped us gain some expertise in programming and animation. We do 2-D and 3-D animation. We create our own technology. We have our own game engines—that's what they're called—so our technology is adapted to many types of game mobiles.

Industry committee  Good afternoon. I am Vice-President of Frima Studio, a business in Quebec City which started up with video games. Frima has 350 employees and is the largest independent video game design studio in Canada. The business extended the scope of its activities by moving on to animation films with its first feature film entitled Le coq de Saint-Victor.
