Good morning, everyone, and welcome to this meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.
My name is Anthony Housefather and I am the member for Mount Royal. I am also the chair of this committee. We are very pleased to welcome the witnesses to this first half of our meeting today.
We are joined today, from the Language Rights Support Program, by Monsieur Pierre Foucher, who is the analyst and professor; and Madame Geneviève Boudreau, who is the director. As individuals, we have Professor Noël Badiou, who is the assistant vice-president of equity, diversity and human rights at Laurentian University; and Faisal Bhabha who is an associate professor at Osgoode Hall Law School, and I know taught at least one member of this panel. I'm very pleased to welcome all of you here today.
Normally we would go first to the Language Rights Support Program. Do you need more time, Madame Boudreau?
