Good morning, everybody.
Welcome to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage. Today we are studying Canada's 150th anniversary, which is going to take place in 2017.
I'm very pleased to have with us this morning the Minister of Canadian Heritage, the Honourable James Moore, as well as the deputy minister, Daniel Jean. Thanks to both of you for being here with us today.
The minister will be here until 9:45 and the deputy minister until 10:45. We have left the last 15 minutes for committee business.
With that, Minister, welcome to the committee. We look forward to your remarks and our question and answer session.
