Good morning, everyone. Welcome to this 40th meeting of the Standing Committee on Official Languages. We will begin without further ado as there is a strong possibility that we will have to vote this morning.
This morning, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are hearing from two representatives of the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada as part of the review of the last 40 years of the Official Languages Act. It is our pleasure to welcome the President of the FCFA, Ms. Marie-France Kenny, who is accompanied by the Director General, Ms. Suzanne Bossé. Welcome to the committee, or rather to your committee. Without further ado, I'll ask you to make your opening address.
