We welcome almost everyone here, sir. You're welcome to the committee.
We have four groups.
We have Mr. Raphael Girard.
We have two people from the Fédération des femmes du Québec: Ms. Alexandra Pierre, community organizer responsible for anti-racism and discrimination issues, and Nathalie Ricard, who is with the same group.
We have the Coalition des familles homoparentales du Québec.
We have the Canadian Arab Federation, represented by James Kafieh, who is legal counsel.
By teleconference, all the way from Kitchener, we have the Honourable Andrew Telegdi, a former parliamentary secretary and former chair and vice-chair of this committee.
I'd like to welcome all of you. We will start by giving each of the groups up to seven minutes to make a presentation. The Fédération des femmes du Québec is a group, so that would mean a total of seven minutes for the two of you.
We'll start with Monsieur Girard.
