Good morning, everyone. The Standing Committee on Official Languages will now begin its meeting which, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), will focus on ministerial priorities.
It gives me great pleasure to welcome our Minister for la Francophonie and Official Languages, the Honourable Josée Verner.
Ms. Verner, you have 15 minutes to make your opening remarks, after which we will begin our round of questions.
Welcome, Ms. Verner.
