Mr. Chairman, members of the committee, good morning. My name is Caroline Fortier, and I'm the Executive Director of the Association des réalisateurs et réalisatrices du Québec, which I'll describe to you shortly. I'd like to thank you for this opportunity to speak to you today. I hope we'll have enough time.
In fact, I'd simply like to skip immediately to Mr. Côté's presentation; so I'll simply talk about the ARRQ. It represents over 650 directors working mainly in French in Quebec, and defend their professional, economic, cultural, social and moral rights and interests. Its mandate is to represent directors at all times and in all cases.
I'll hand over immediately to Mr. Côté.
