Good morning to you all. I think we will get started immediately, since time is a precious commodity.
We move now to the second part of our meeting. I would like to welcome officials from the Department of Public Works and Government Services, PWGSC. We will be hearing today from the Deputy Minister and Deputy Receiver General for Canada, Mr. François Guimont. Welcome to the committee, Mr. Guimont. With him today are the Assistant Deputy Minister, Ms. Diane Lorenzato, the Chief Executive Officer of the Translation Bureau, Ms. Francine Kennedy, and Mr. Marc Olivier, Manager of the Linguistic Services Division at the Translation Bureau. You will be making both an oral and visual presentation.
Without any further ado, I invite you to make your presentation.
