It is exceptional, of course.
This morning, we welcome, as individuals, Dominique Arbez, professor and coordinator, Early Childhood Education, Université de Saint-Boniface, and Mélanie Cwikla, director, Technical and Professional Programs, Université de Saint-Boniface.
We welcome Carol-Guillaume Gagné and Peter Ormiston from the Association des parents fransaskois; Joanne Colliou from the Coalition francophone de la petite enfance du Manitoba; Alpha Barry and Hélène Grimard from the Conseil des écoles fransaskoises; Alain Laberge from the Division scolaire franco-manitobaine; Brigitte L'Heureux from the Fédération des parents du Manitoba; and Juliette Chabot, director of the daycare Les Chouettes de Lorette Inc.
I will explain how this meeting will work. You will each have five minutes, but, given that there's a good number of you, I would ask that you respect those five minutes, or else I will have to intervene and put an end to your presentation to allow everyone to speak. We want to hear from everyone. Do not get angry if I intervene. You will still be able to express your points of view during the second part of the meeting, during which members will each have six minutes to make comments or ask questions on your presentation. If you do not get the opportunity to finish your presentation, you can continue it by answering questions.
Is that okay? Yes? We will then start immediately with Ms. Arbez.
Ms. Arbez, you have the floor.
