Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Mr. Volpe indicated to me that he would be a few minutes late. I will therefore be taking the chair during these few minutes.
Mr. French and Mr. Prud'homme, you have 10 minutes to make a presentation. In theory, this 10-minute period is for both of your presentations, but we can be tolerant. Afterwards, each political party will have a first round of questions, seven minutes each and then, and there will be a second five-minute round. I will hand you the floor.
Having myself been mayor of a municipality in my former life, I will give Mr. French the floor first and Mr. Prud'homme second.
