Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning, Commissioner, and to your team. I am very happy to see you here today. Thank you for accepting our invitation.
I think it's important to start the proceedings with you based on what was recently debated. Since there are a number of new members on this committee, it would be good for you to provide a wrap-up of recent months. Perhaps we could clarify certain priorities for the committee's future business.
You mentioned the 40th anniversary of the Official Languages Act. That's important, and I hope it will be celebrated. You will, no doubt, and I hope the government will as well. I assume it has plans and activities for that purpose. This is part of our identity.
Despite the ups and downs, your report is quite positive about the past 40 years. This is an essential tool that has played an important role in linguistic duality.
