If I speak in English, does it work in French as well?
It’s working.
We will continue the meeting.
There are a lot of instructions, but I think that in 2024, everyone is very familiar with the Zoom application.
I can tell members of the committee participating in the meeting virtually or in the room, as well as our guests joining us, that all sound checks were done and they were successful. Everything is therefore working well.
I ask our guests to keep the following instructions in mind:
When you take the floor, please address the Chair. If you are using the earpiece near your microphone, make sure to avoid putting them next to each other, because it can cause interference likely to injure the interpreters.
In accordance with our routine motion regarding connection tests, I wish to inform the committee that, once again, all witnesses and members of the committee performed the required connection tests before the meeting if they are participating via videoconference.
I would now like to welcome the witnesses.
From the Réseau pour le développement de l’alphabétisme et des compétences, we welcome by videoconference Ms. Mona Audet, President, and Mr. Denis Desgagné, Executive Director.
We are happy to welcome you, Ms. Audet and Mr. Desgagné.
I must tell you I’m quite strict about speaking time limits to give a chance to several committee members to ask questions and interact with you.
Ms. Audet, you have the floor for five minutes.
