I call the meeting to order.
Good afternoon, and welcome to the 89th meeting of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. Today's meeting is in public.
As we continue our study of indigenous women in the federal justice and correctional systems, we are pleased to have joining us today, by video conference from Vancouver, Ms. Darlene Shackelly, Executive Director of the Native Courtworker and Counselling Association of British Columbia; by video conference from Edmonton, Ms. Audra Andrews, representing the Union of Safety and Justice Employees; and by video conference from Calgary, Mr. Lowell Carroll, Manager of the Calgary, Red Deer, and Siksika Legal Services Centres of Legal Aid Alberta.
As well, from Regroupement des centres d'amitié autochtones du Québec, we have Madame Claudie Paul, Services Director, and Madame Jacinthe Poulin, Health and Social Services Advisor. I'm very sorry for slaughtering any language so far today.
Thank you very much.
Each group will have seven minutes to speak, after which I will be cutting you off, because we do have shortened time.
We're going to start off with Ms. Darlene Shackelly. You have seven minutes.
