Good afternoon, everyone.
The clerk informs me that we have quorum. I therefore call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 60 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Official Languages.
I would like to inform the committee that all members and witnesses have completed the required connection tests in advance of the meeting. Ms. Ashton has completed her test. Today, we are beginning the study on increased francophone immigration to Canada, as per the motion adopted on Friday, April 21, 2023. To ensure that the meeting runs smoothly, I would like to give some instructions to the witnesses.
