We are resuming the meeting.
We are continuing our study on the economic development of official language minority communities with representatives of the two regional development agencies, something that had not happened for at least seven years at the Standing Committee on Official Languages.
We have Daryell Nowlan, Vice-President, Policy, Programs and Communications at the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, the ACOA. And we have Sony Perron, Deputy Minister of the Economic Development Agency for the Regions of Quebec, or CED.
Welcome, gentlemen. You will each have five minutes to give a short presentation. I will let you know when your speaking time is up. I am pretty strict about this. If you do not have time to finish, you will have an opportunity to complete your remarks when you answer questions.
Mr. Nowlan, you have the floor for five minutes.
