Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3), we are continuing our study of the 2016 census language data and the overestimation of the growth of English in Quebec.
Today we are pleased to welcome two Statistics Canada representatives: Jean-Pierre Corbeil, assistant director of the social and aboriginal statistics division, and Marc Hamel, director general of the census program.
Welcome, gentlemen.
I imagine you know how our committee works. As usual, we will give you about 10 minutes to make your presentation. Then we will move on to a period of questions and comments from committee members.
I believe Mr. Hamel will be making the presentation.
Please go ahead, Mr. Hamel.
