Good morning everyone and welcome to this meeting of the committee.
I would also like to welcome our two newcomers, Mr. Massé and Mr. Nault, who is the chair of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
We will now start the meeting. As per the agenda, we'll spend the first half hour on committee business, specifically, as regards the translation bureau.
Mr. Choquette put forward a motion on the subject. It reads as follows:
That the Committee invite the Minister of Public Services and Procurement, the Honourable Judy Foote, as soon as possible so that she can present and explain the government's official response to the Committee's second report entitled, Study of the Translation Bureau, and that this meeting be televised.
I will now turn the floor over to Mr. Choquette, who introduced the motion.
