Good morning, everyone.
Welcome. Today we're beginning a new study and ending a study, all in the same day. Today it's new beginnings. Right now, we're starting our study on gender parity on the boards and at senior leadership levels of Canadian artistic and cultural organizations.
We are beginning with three witnesses. We have Ms. Loewen from Opera.ca, Ms. Badzak from the Ottawa Art Gallery, and Ms. Burns and Ms. Collins from the National Arts Centre.
We will begin with Ms. Loewen.
