Colleagues, I'd like to welcome you all back for our second panel tonight.
I'd like to welcome all of our witnesses. We are delighted to have you this evening.
From the Government of Quebec, we have Dr. Rémi Quirion, the chief scientist; from Synchronex, we have Marie Gagné, chief executive officer; and from the University of British Columbia we have Dr. Gail Murphy, vice-president, research and innovation.
We welcome you all. We'd like to hear statements from you all. Each of you will be given five minutes. When there is 30 seconds left, I will hold a yellow card.
With that, we will go over to Dr. Quirion, for five minutes.
Welcome, Mr. Quirion.
