Good morning everyone.
I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 15 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
In the first hour of the meeting, the committee will continue its study on the inclusion of indigenous languages on federal election ballots.
We have two panels of witnesses again today, joining us virtually. The first panel will include Jean-François Daoust, assistant professor at the University of Edinburgh; Dwight Newman, professor of law and Canada research chair in indigenous rights in constitutional and international law at the University of Saskatchewan; and Allison Harell, professor in the political science department of the Université du Québec à Montréal.
On behalf of PROC committee members, I would like to welcome you all here today. We will get right into it, with up to five minutes for your opening comments.
We'll start with Monsieur Daoust.
