Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to welcome the witnesses who are joining us this evening for this important study.
Good evening, Ms. Lewis. It is a pleasure to see you again. You are a frequent flyer at international francophone meetings relating to the humanities and social sciences, particularly in your field of expertise, sociology. Very recently, two weeks ago, you were in Tunisia to participate in the first ever Rencontres de la sociologie francophone.
Could you tell us about that experience? What countries were the participants from? Were the issues similar for every country? What did you observe on that trip?
