I'd like to welcome the Société franco-manitobaine and its representatives, Daniel Boucher and Mr. Diallo. I won't try to pronounce your name.
You'll have five minutes to make your presentation, and then we'll ask you some questions. The meeting will end at 9:00 p.m. As I said at the outset, the committee apologizes for changing the timetable. We thank you for being so flexible. As you know, we go back to Ottawa tomorrow for a special vote that will be held at 3:00 p.m., an important vote for the Canadian nation. With that, I turn the floor over to Mr. Boucher.
