There, we've completed the study of the motion.
I would like to thank you, colleagues, for having, on the whole, stuck to remarks intended, in each speech, to raise new points. I thank you, even though this is a hot topic. I want to thank you for your cooperation.
Without further ado, we can now focus entirely on our witnesses: Mr. Lussier and Mr. Lafontaine. Mr. Lussier, who is not making his first incursion here, is Director General of the Official Languages Support Programs. Mr. Jean-Bernard Lafontaine, who is Regional Executive Director of the Atlantic region, is also with us today.
We welcome you both. I thought you were in Moncton, Mr. Lafontaine. We hope the Atlantic people are recovering from the floods. Without further ado, we'll turn the floor over to you. Thank you as well for your patience.
Would you like us to take a brief five-minute break?
