Good afternoon, everyone.
We'll call to order meeting number 48 of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage. Today we are continuing our study of dance in Canada. For the first hour we have with us three different groups.
First we have Zab Maboungou, artistic director of Zab Maboungou/Compagnie Danse Nyata Nyata.
We also have with us Anik Bissonnette, artistic director, and Alix Laurent, executive director, of the École supérieure de ballet du Québec.
By video conference from Vancouver, we have Emily Molnar from Ballet BC.
We will start with Zab Maboungou.
You have eight minutes. Each of our three groups will have up to eight minutes. You have the floor.
