Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3), we are continuing our study on access to early childhood services in the minority language.
Today, we have the pleasure of welcoming Minister Jean-Yves Duclos.
Welcome, Minister.
We are also hearing from Doug Murphy, special advisor at the Department of Employment and Social Development.
I want to remind everyone that today's meeting is televised.
The minister will have about 10 minutes to make his presentation. We will then go around the table, so that committee members can ask questions, hear answers and make comments.
Minister, we are very happy to have you with us.
Go ahead.
