Welcome to the 60th meeting of the Standing Committee on Official Languages. Today is Tuesday, November 20, 2012. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3), today we are going to study the issue of linguistic duality during the 150th anniversary celebrations of Canadian Confederation in 2017.
Today we will hear from four groups, including Mr. Corbeil and Mr. Nault from Statistics Canada. Welcome.
We also have Ms. Hylland and Mr. Kenny, of the Canada Games Council.
Also joining us is Mr. Wilson-Smith from the Historica-Dominion Institute.
We are also expecting Mr. Jedwab and Madame Perrone, from the Association for Canadian Studies. I'm not sure when they'll be arriving; the clerk is looking into that.
Nevertheless, we have three of our groups here, and we'll begin with an opening statement from Statistics Canada.
