Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Standing Committee on Official Languages. I also want to welcome our witnesses. Some of them are absent, because of the traffic, I believe. I hope they'll be joining us soon.
We'll be hearing from two witnesses this morning. Jean-Paul Perreault will speak for a few minutes. Then we'll ask Ms. Epners to take the floor. Once the witnesses have spoken, we'll ask members to put questions to whomever they want.
Mr. Perreault, you may begin.
