Good morning everyone and welcome to this 23rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Official Languages. This is our second meeting pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) on the Canada-communities agreements, which are known as the collaboration accords as well.
Just before we begin, I would like to inform you that next Tuesday, April 8, Mr. Bernard Lord will be with us. He has accepted our invitation to come and tell us about his recommendations on the new Action Plan for Official Languages. Mr. Godin has tabled a motion in this regard.
Mr. Godin.
