Now let's get down to business with the witnesses in attendance. Just a reminder that we are still studying the minority-language education continuum.
I would like to welcome the witnesses who are here with us and the others who are participating virtually in today's meeting. We have some prominent visitors, including two representatives from the Fédération des conseils d'éducation du Nouveau‑Brunswick, Chantal Ouellette, who is administrative manager for the francophone sector of the District Education Councils; and Robert Levesque, who is a member of that federation. Both are participating in this meeting by video conference. I remember that Mr. Levesque has previously appeared before this committee.
We also have Ghislain Bernard, who is general manager of the Commission scolaire de langue française de l'Île‑du‑Prince‑Édouard, and Brad Samson, who is director of administrative and financial services.
Each organization will have five minutes for its presentation. I am strict about that. You will have five minutes and no more. Then there will be a series of questions and answers.
So welcome to you all.
Mrs. Ouellette, the floor is yours for exactly five minutes.
