Welcome to the 41st meeting of the Standing Committee on Official Languages. Today is Thursday, March 12, 2015.
We are here pursuant to Standing Order 108 to study the Government of Canada programs designed to promote francophone immigration into Canada's official-language minority communities.
We have two witnesses appearing today. Gilles LeVasseur is a professor with the Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa. He will be joining us shortly. We will also hear from Robert Therrien, the executive director of the Conseil de la coopération de la Saskatchewan. He will take part in the meeting by teleconference from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Mr. Therrien, you have the floor.
