Yes, since there is no vote.
Without further ado, we will now proceed. We'll try to finish the first part of the meeting at about 5:15 p.m. and then continue with the second panel of witnesses.
I apologize to the witnesses. It's always messed up like this when there are votes.
I would now like to welcome our first panel of witnesses. In the first hour, we have, by videoconference, lawyer Stéphane Handfield with Handfield et Associés, and Honorine Ngountchoup, welcoming and integration services officer for international students at Collège communautaire du Nouveau‑Brunswick. Both are appearing as individuals.
Finally, we welcome representatives from the Assemblée de la francophonie de l'Ontario: president Carol Jolin, executive director Peter Hominuk and policy analyst Bryan Michaud.
You will each have up to five minutes for your opening remarks, after which we will proceed to rounds of questions. I will let you know when you have one minute remaining.
Mr. Handfield, you have the floor.
