On this Thursday, October 27, 2011, I would like to welcome you to the ninth meeting of the Standing Committee on Official Languages. We are meeting pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(f) for the purpose of evaluating the Roadmap and improving programs and service delivery.
In front of us today we have the Quebec Community Groups Network, Madam Martin-Laforge, director general, and Mr. Thompson, director of policy, research and public affairs.
Before we begin with an opening 10-minute statement, I see that Mr. Bélanger would like to say something.
