Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses, Ms. Boyer, whom we see regularly, and Mr. Labelle, whom we've met on a few occasions.
Thank you for being here this morning, and for having travelled from Montreal to Ottawa. I make the trip between Quebec City and Ottawa every week, so I understand what you've been through. Your trip is a little shorter, but I'd like to thank you for being here this morning.
As it happens, my first question is for you, and for the clerk. Ms. Mondou, a deputy minister at the Department of Canadian Heritage, is responsible for official languages. She is usually here.
Was she invited?
