Welcome to the second session of the 41st Parliament. On this Monday, November 4, 2013, the Standing Committee on Official Languages is holding its second hearing. We are here to discuss committee business.
Before dealing with our routine motions, I would first like to welcome our clerk, Mr. Chad Mariage. Mr. Mariage is replacing Ms. Suzie Cadieux who is on leave for personal reasons. I hope she will be able to return soon.
I also wish to congratulate Mr. Williamson on his marriage this summer.
Congratulations, John. It is fantastic news. I'm sure everyone here is very excited about the new path you're on.
Monsieur Dionne Labelle.
