It's good to see some of you again. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1023351\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are obviously reams of questions here, but I want to go back briefly to Mr. Shrybman and this question of U.S. law trumping Canadian law. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1023352\" data-originallang=\"en\">Would it not be true that the U.S. law would only pertain, in this case, to a contract? MDA is a company operating in Canada that's providing contract services for different countries in the world. The U.S. contracts it to build some remote sensing devices under licence by the U.S. for the United States, and that law would apply to that particular device. Do I understand that correctly?</p>",

Il est bon de revoir certains d'entre vous.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1023351\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il se pose manifestement une foule de questions, mais j'aimerais revenir bri\u00e8vement \u00e0 M. Shrybman, concernant la supr\u00e9matie du droit am\u00e9ricain sur le droit canadien.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1023352\" data-originallang=\"en\">N'est-il pas vrai que la loi am\u00e9ricaine s'appliquerait en l'occurrence uniquement \u00e0 un contrat? MDA est une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tablie au Canada qui fournit des services contractuels \u00e0 diff\u00e9rents pays du monde. Les \u00c9tats-Unis passent contrat avec elle pour construire des dispositifs de t\u00e9l\u00e9d\u00e9tection sous licence am\u00e9ricaine, pour les \u00c9tats-Unis, et cette loi s'appliquerait \u00e0 ce dispositif particulier. Ai-je bien saisi?</p>"
