Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and members of the committee.
If it's all right, I'm going to say a few words about the organization, and then, David Boulet will take over.
My name is Jacques Demers, and I am the mayor of Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley, reeve of the Memphrémagog regional county municipality, or RCM, and president of the Fédération québécoise des municipalités, FQM for short. I'm going to give you a brief overview of the FQM.
