Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to each of our witnesses this morning for sharing their knowledge with us.

I'm from Ontario, and I want to ask you a question about the situation in Ontario. I believe you mentioned that FAJEF also covers the province of Ontario. You may be familiar with the fact that in 2010, the Ontario government established a committee, known as the French Language Services Bench and Bar Advisory Committee, to look at issues of access to justice in both languages. In June 2012 the committee submitted a report, and instituted the French language services bench and bar steering committee in order to implement the recommendations in the report.

First of all, are either of you familiar with that committee and the report?
