Is there any further debate?
There appears to be unanimous consent.
(Motion agreed to)
As regards the rest of the meeting, I suggest that we advise the witnesses who are to appear in the second hour of the meeting that they will be invited to join the committee later on. We will thus be able to hear the presentations of the representatives of the Quebec Community Groups Network, or QCGN, first because they were to appear in the first hour of the meeting.
I'm told that everyone is connected, including the witnesses who are to appear in the second hour. I therefore suggest that we continue with all the witnesses.
We have, from the Quebec Community Groups Network, Marlene Jennings, President; the Hon Joan Fraser, Director of the Board of Directors; and Marion Sandilands, Counsel; as well as Michel Doucet, Emeritus Professor, Faculty of Law, Université de Moncton; and Janice Naymark, Lawyer.
I wish to inform the witnesses that they will have five minutes to make their presentations. Then there will be a period of questions.
Ms. Jennings, you have the floor for five minutes.
