Good morning everyone, committee members and guests. This morning, it is our pleasure and privilege to have Canada's Commissioner of Official Languages and his team.
Mr. Graham Fraser, on behalf of committee members, I would like to welcome you. This is the first time you've had the chance to appear before the committee, because you are starting your seven-year term. You have stated your vision of Canada, and you view the two official languages as forming an integral part of the identity and dialogue of our country, all based on respect for the values that are shared by committee members.
Without further ado, Mr. Fraser, I invite you to make your opening remarks. Then committee members will be able to question you.
