We'll get started again.
I welcome our witnesses to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage, our study of our upcoming 150th anniversary of Canada. It's taking place in 2017, of course, but as you may have heard from the previous witnesses, it's not too early to start thinking about our celebrations.
We have with us today André Picard, vice-president, public and corporate affairs, the Just For Laughs Group, and Louise Pothier, director of exhibitions and technologies at Pointe-à-Callière, the Montréal Museum of Archaeology and History.
Welcome to both of you.
The format we'll follow until 10:30 is that we'll have each of you make your opening remarks, if you have any, and then an opportunity for our members to ask some questions will follow.
I will turn it over to you, Mr. Picard, for some opening comments.
