We'll now resume without further delay because our second hour is packed.
We'll now hear from two stakeholders from Canadian Heritage who were here during the first part of the meeting. They are Mr. Scrimger, who is Assistant Deputy Minister for Citizenship and Heritage, and Mr. Lussier, who is Director General, Official Languages Support Programs. He is accompanied by Regional Executive Director of the Prairies and Northern Region, Mr. Louis Chagnon. Welcome to the committee, gentlemen. I believe you would like to say a few words to the committee before we move on to questions.
Mr. Scrimger.
