Good morning and welcome to this 38th meeting of the Standing Committee on Official Languages. Today is Tuesday, June 10. On the agenda, we have committee business, namely the consideration of two motions, followed by consideration of our draft report.
I'd like to inform you of the result of the request that had been made by members of the committee concerning the appearance of representatives of the Privy Council Office. A resolution to that effect had been adopted earlier. An invitation was sent to the Clerk of the Privy Council indicating that we wished to have him appear as part of our study of the language skills of exempted managers. Mr. Kevin Lynch informed us that he has a very heavy schedule and that the President of the Public Service Commission could come in his place. According to him and members of the Privy Council, she would be in a position to answer questions from members of this committee.
Mr. Rodriguez.
