Fine. Welcome, Romane. As chair, I should mention that this is how I feel sometimes about our meetings: They can be more chaotic than we anticipate.
From the Société de la francophonie manitobaine, we are joined by Derrek Bentley, president, and Jean-Michel Beaudry, chief executive officer. Both are attending via video conference, and I would like to welcome them.
Each witness or organization will have five minutes to deliver an opening statement. We will then proceed to a question-and-answer period with members.
Ms. Chouinard, if you are ready, you have the floor for five minutes.
