Welcome to the 17th hearing of the Standing Committee on Official Languages, this Tuesday, April 1, 2014.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108, we are continuing our study of the economic situation of Canada's minority linguistic communities.
Today we welcome two groups. First, L'Art du développement, represented by Ms. Côté, whom I welcome to the committee. Afterwards, via videoconference, we will welcome witnesses who are in Haileybury, Ontario, and who represent the Temiskaming Shores and Area Chamber of Commerce: Ms. Rivard, Mr. Griffith, as well as two other witnesses.
Welcome to you all.
We will begin with Ms. Côté.
