Good morning, and welcome to the 10th meeting of the Standing Committee on Official Languages.
This morning, for the first hour of our meeting, it is our pleasure to have the honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, with us. With him is Ms. Judith LaRocque, Deputy Minister, and Mr. Hubert Lussier, who often appears before us. He is the Director General of the Official Languages Support Programs. Mr. Robinson, the Director General of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Federal Secretariat, is also with us.
Welcome everyone.
Without any further ado, I'd like to give the minister the floor.
