We will resume.
I would like to outline a few rules for the new witnesses in this second hour.
Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. If you are on the videoconference, please click on the microphone icon to unmute yourself. Please mute your mike when you are not speaking. That prevents interference.
For interpretation, those participating through Zoom have the choice, at the bottom of their screen, between three channels: floor, English or French.
Members attending in person in the room can use their headset after selecting the channel desired.
A reminder that all comments by members and witnesses should be addressed through the chair.
I will allow each witness five minutes, no more, for their presentation. Should you run short of time, you will be able to clarify your points during the period of questions.
Having said that, I want to welcome the witnesses.
We have with us Patrick Taillon, Professor and Associate Director of the Centre for Constitutional and Administrative Law Studies of the Faculty of Law at the Université Laval.
We also have two representatives from the Association canadienne-française de l'Alberta, or ACFA, Pierre Asselin, President, and Isabelle Laurin, Executive Director.
You will each have five minutes for your presentation.
To start off, I give the floor to Mr. Taillon for five minutes.
