Thank you, Mr. Chair, and good afternoon to all the members of the committee.
First, I would like to say that this meeting is being held on the traditional unceded land of the Anishinabe Algonquin Nation.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for inviting me to appear today. As you heard, I am joined by the Deputy Minister of Canadian Heritage, Isabelle Mondou, and Julie Boyer, Assistant Deputy Minister, Official Languages, Heritage and Regions.
Colleagues, a long time ago, I told Mr. Généreux that, the last time I was here, I still had hair, or at least I thought I had hair, in 2015.
