Good morning and welcome to this sixth meeting of the Standing Committee on Official Languages.
I would like to welcome our parliamentary secretary, whose presence allows us to have a full quorum, even though we may hear witnesses with six members present.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(f), we are beginning our study of the broadcasting and services in French of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games.
As well, pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(f), we are studying Air Canada's compliance with the Official Languages Act. To do so, we have the pleasure and privilege to have with us the Commissioner of Official Languages. He's accompanied this morning by the assistant commissioner from the compliance assurance branch, Ms. Ghislaine Charlebois.
Welcome to the committee.
The commissioner is also accompanied by Mr. Sylvain Giguère, who is assistant commissioner, policy and communications branch. From the more judicial side we have lead counsel and director of legal affairs, Madam Johane Tremblay, who is well accustomed to our committee.
Mr. Commissioner, I would like to welcome you once again to the Standing Committee on Official Languages. I would invite you to report on your experience of the Olympic Games and also to speak to the transport issue, that is to say regarding our national airline, Air Canada.
