I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 105 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Official Languages.
For the benefit of those listening, I'd like to point out that there was a slight delay caused by technical difficulties. They have now been resolved by our excellent team of technicians.
I won't explain the instructions to prevent feedback incidents, as everyone here in the room, as well as those participating remotely, is now accustomed to them. You can always look at the little card on the table that indicates what you should do or avoid doing.
I will remind you of the context. We're resuming debate on the amendment that Mr. Samson has moved to Mr. Beaulieu's motion. We're still at that point in the discussion.
On Monday of this week, when we adjourned the meeting, the list of people who wanted to speak was as follows: Darrell Samson, Joël Godin, Mario Beaulieu, Francis Drouin and Marc Serré.
We will begin with you, Mr. Samson. The floor is yours.
