Welcome, everybody, to the 60th meeting of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Thursday, April 18, 2013, we are going to be studying Bill C-266, an act to establish Pope John Paul II Day. As our witness, we have the member from Mississauga East, Mr. Lizon.
Welcome to our committee. Congratulations on getting your private member's bill this far.
We're going to have an opportunity now for opening remarks. Then there will be a round of questions and answers, for members of the committee to put questions to our witness regarding this bill.
The floor is yours, Mr. Lizon.
