Colleagues, welcome back to meeting number 39 of the Standing Committee on Official Languages.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(f) and the motion adopted on April 12, 2026, we are continuing our study on the draft regulations on the use of French in federally regulated private businesses.
Before welcoming our witnesses, I have been remiss because I didn't do something earlier. I always welcome members who aren't permanent members and are substituting in on our committee, and I'd like to welcome Mr. Kram and Mr. Gourde to our committee for today's session. Thank you for being with us.
I'd now like to welcome our witnesses for today.
From Talking. Advocating. Living in Quebec, we have Eva Ludvig, president, and Marion Sandilands, lawyer.
Welcome. You'll have five minutes to give an opening statement, after which we'll go to questions from members of Parliament.
The floor is yours for five minutes.
