The meeting is now public.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(f) and the motion adopted by the committee on April 29, 2024, we are continuing our study on the minority-language education continuum.
I would like to welcome our witnesses, some of whom are new to the Standing Committee on Official Languages. With us is Heidi Yetman, president of the Canadian Teachers' Federation. Also with us are the president of the Fédération nationale des conseils scolaires francophones, Simon Cloutier, and the executive director of that federation, Valérie Morand.
Witnesses will each have five minutes for opening remarks, after which we will have a series of questions from all parties. I might have to interrupt the discussion at some point to do a sound test with a witness who is having technical difficulties. Other than that, everything should run smoothly.
Ms. Yetman, the floor is yours for five minutes.
