Thank you.
To ensure an orderly meeting, I would like to outline a few rules to follow.
This is intended for those participating virtually.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind all participants to this meeting that screenshots or taking photos of your screen is not permitted, as was mentioned by Speaker Rota on September 29, 2020.
Members and witnesses may speak in the language of their choice. Interpretation services are available for this meeting. You have the choice, at the bottom of your screen, of either floor, English or French.
Before speaking, click on the microphone icon to activate your mike. When you are done speaking, please put your mike on mute to minimize any interference.
A reminder that all comments by members should be addressed through the Chair.
When speaking, please speak slowly and clearly.
Unless there are exceptional circumstances, the use of headsets with a boom is mandatory for everyone participating remotely.
Should any technical challenges arise, please advise the chair. Please note we may need to suspend for a few minutes as we need to ensure all members are able to participate fully.
I would now like to welcome our witnesses.
In the first part, we will start off with Mr. Yvon Barrière, Executive Vice-President, Quebec Region, of the Public Service Alliance of Canada.
Mr. Barrière, you will have seven and a half minutes to make your presentation, which will be followed by questions from members of the committee.
I would like to inform all witnesses and members of the committee that I will tell you when you have one minute of speaking time remaining. If you see the red card, your time is over, and you must wrap up in the following 5 to 10 seconds.
With that, ladies and gentlemen, I will invite Mr. Barrière to take the floor.
