Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to meeting number 21 of the Standing Committee on Official Languages.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(f) and the order of reference of December 9, 2025, we are meeting today to study the official languages (advancement of equality of status and use of English and French) regulations.
Before welcoming our witnesses, I want to consult my colleagues. We are starting our meeting 40 minutes behind schedule. We have access to resources for two hours, so we could meet for two hours, as planned. However, I know that, often on Thursdays, members cannot stay after 5:30 p.m.
Therefore, I want to ask you how you wish to proceed. Do you want to meet for two hours? If not, when do you wish to adjourn? I would like your thoughts on this matter.
Mr. Godin, you have the floor.
