Good morning. Bienvenue tout le monde.
I call to order the 71st meeting of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage. Pursuant to Standing Orders 110 and 111, we are reviewing the order in council appointment of Tom Perlmutter to the position of government film commissioner of the National Film Board of Canada, referred to the committee on May 31, 2007.
Without further ado, I would ask our witness to make his opening comments, and then we'll have an opportunity to discuss these things with him as a committee.
Thank you. Merci.
