I'd like to call the meeting to order.
As you know, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), this committee is doing a study of Canadian women and girls in sport.
I would like to welcome the witnesses.
We have witnesses who are here as individuals, and some are with associations. Generally speaking, we give everyone 10 minutes to present. If you can do it in less than 10 minutes, that's great. Then we go to a question and answer interactive session.
We may have to cut the time to five minutes because there are so many of you.
We have some individuals starting in the first part, Dr. Diane Culver, associate professor, School of Human Kinetics, University of Ottawa; Dr. Guylaine Demers, professor, department of physical education, Université Laval; and Dr. Gretchen Kerr, professor and vice-dean of the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of Toronto.
Each of you can have five minutes to present the salient points, and then we will open up to a question and answer session.
Let's start with Dr. Culver.
