Pursuant to Standing Order 108, we are continuing our study of the modernization of the Official Languages Act.
It is our pleasure to have with us this morning, from the Townshippers' Association, Rachel Hunting, Executive Director; and from the Quebec Community Groups Network, Geoffrey Chambers, President, and Sylvia Martin-Laforge, Director General. Welcome.
We will have some problems this morning because of the votes, as you might be aware. We will try to hear your presentations for the next 20 minutes to half an hour. After that, we will have to go for a vote. We'll come back after that for the members to ask questions or to offer comments and things like that.
You'll have around 10 minutes each for a presentation.
We'll start with Rachel.
Go ahead. Thank you.
