Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to say hello to all the members of Parliament on this august committee, including the chair, the vice-chairs, all committee members, and the member for Brome—Missisquoi, whose riding is in the Eastern Townships, where Droits collectifs Québec is based. This region is home to the town of Cowansville, where my beloved mother comes from.
Parliamentarians, I will make a very brief statement. You are no doubt familiar with Droits collectifs Québec, whose mission is to protect and advocate for the collective rights of Quebeckers, including their language rights. We have been in operation since 2019. Over the years, our work has extended beyond Quebec matters. Advocating for the language rights of Quebeckers has led to frequent collaboration with various types of organizations from the Canadian francophonie, including the Fédération des associations de juristes d'expression française de common law and the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to speak to the draft regulations.
