I call the meeting back to order. Good morning, everyone.
We will hear from three witnesses in this panel. On behalf of all members of this committee, I would like to thank our witnesses for appearing before the committee.
We will be hearing from Alain Dupuis, director general, from the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada. The second witness for today is Martin Normand, director of strategic research and international relations, representing the Association des collèges et universités de la francophonie canadienne. Our third witness for this panel is Thibault Camara, president, from Le Québec c'est nous aussi.
I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of our witnesses.
Before speaking, please wait until I recognize your name. When you are ready to speak, you can click on the microphone icon to activate your mike.
I would remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
Interpretation in this video conference will work very much like a regular committee meeting.
When speaking, please speak slowly and clearly. When you are not speaking, your mike should be on mute.
I welcome all our witnesses for today.
All witnesses will be provided with five minutes for their opening remarks, and then we will proceed to the round of questioning.
Alain Dupuis, you have five minutes for your opening remarks. Please proceed.
