The meeting is now public.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3), we are proceeding with our study on full implementation of the Official Languages Act in the Canadian justice system.
I would like to welcome to the Standing Committee on Official Languages our two witnesses from the Barreau du Québec: Claudia Prémont, head of the Barreau, and Sylvie Champagne, secretary of the order.
As a member of the Barreau, I am very proud to have you both here.
You will have 10 or so minutes to present the Barreau's position on the topic of study. After that, we will move into the question and answer portion.
Ms. Prémont, you may go ahead.
