Thank you, Mr. Jacques.
We will now begin the first round of questions. Each political party has six minutes, which includes the time for questions and answers.
First of all, we're going to do another sound check with Ms. Ashton to make sure the connection is good. I therefore invite her to say a few words.
I can't hear Ms. Ashton. There still seems to be a problem. We'll do another test when it's her turn to speak.
The first question will be put by the representative of the Conservative Party, specifically the committee's first vice-chair.
Mr. Godin, you have the floor for six minutes.
