Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mesdames, first I want to congratulate you for shedding an entirely new light in this committee. I am the only woman member of the committee who has toured Canada, apart from Ms. Keeper, of course, who was not often here with us during the meetings held off Parliament Hill. You have shown us an aspect that no one had thought of. This is really a new element.
I was watching my colleagues while you spoke to us, Ms. Lepage, and I wondered how they were going to react when you said that women, who represent 51% of the population, may not be commensurately visible on television with regard to the handing on of values. I'm not sure. And it's even worse when we go to western Canada. We know perfectly well that here in Quebec, women, the women's movement, has been the leader, has opened a lot of doors.
