With your permission, colleagues, with your consent, I will chair the meeting. The witnesses are all present, and I would not want to make them wait unduly. As soon as Mr. Chong or Mr. Godin arrives, I will hand over to them.
Welcome to the 13th meeting of the Standing Committee on Official Languages on this day, November 17, 2011. Some time ago, we began the evaluation of the Roadmap to improve programs and service delivery.
You know the procedure. We allow each witness 10 minutes, and then we proceed with a series of questions and answers, alternating in a pre-established order.
Messrs. Vaillancourt, LeVasseur, Couture and Groulx, I don't know which of you wants to begin. Welcome to you on behalf of the committee.
