Good morning to everyone and welcome to this 37^th meeting of the Standing Committee on Official Languages.

This morning, pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(f), we are studying the National Defence official languages program transformation model. We have the pleasure of having two witnesses.

We have with us Rear-Admiral Andrew Smith, who is the Chief of Military Personnel and Champion of Official Languages. Welcome Mr. Smith.

We also welcome back Colonel Louis Meloche, Commander of the Canadian Forces Base Borden.

Thank you for having accepted the committee's invitation. You have been briefed on the procedure, so without further ado, I would ask you to give your opening remarks. We will then move to a discussion with committee members.
