Welcome everyone.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3), we are doing a study of Air Canada's compliance with the Official Languages Act.
This morning we have the pleasure to have with us the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, the Hon. John Baird.
Welcome to our committee, Minister Baird, and thank you for having accepted our invitation within a very short time.
Without further ado, Mr. Minister, I would invite you to make your opening statement. I would also like to welcome the two people with you today.
