Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the 33rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Official Languages.
This morning, pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(f), we have a study of the offer of services in French in Canadian embassies. We are happy to have with us this morning the assistant deputy minister of human resources from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Ms. Susan Gregson. Welcome to our committee, Ms. Gregson.
I had a chance to talk to you before the committee and I know with your experience you'll enhance our inquiry of information about this subject. You are also accompanied by Monica Janecek, director of the corporate resourcing division.
Without any delay, I invite you to begin with your opening statement, and then the members can follow up.
Thank you.
