This is meeting number 22 of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage. I'd like to call this meeting to order, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2). This is our study related to Canadian museums.
Welcome today to everyone. I'm very pleased that you could make this meeting today.
I understand that Mr. Vadeboncoeur, president of the board, will be making a presentation. Afterwards, each person will have his or her own presentation.
We'll start from the top. I'll introduce everyone. We have Mr. Gerry Osmond, from the Alberta Museums Association; from the Canadian Museums Association, we have Mr. John McAvity; from the Heritage Canada Foundation, Ms. Nathalie Bull; I have already mentioned Mr. Vadeboncoeur, and with him we also have Mr. Michel Perron.
Who will go first? We can start at the top.
Mr. Osmond, if you'd like, sir, go ahead.
