Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today. Their presence enriches our work and will help us complete our report, which will be the first ever report on the education continuum. We were limited by certain interpretations of section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
My first questions will be for Ms. Thibault, whom I have known for a long time and with whom I worked closely, quite early in my career, when I worked in education and was responsible for basic programs and immersion programs.
There was no French-language school back in the day. So I did all my schooling in English.
My time is running out, and I know that my colleagues are going to try to steal a few seconds from me, so I'll move ahead quickly.
Ms. Thibault, how long have you been the executive director of this association?
