I call to order meeting number 35 of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage. Today we are continuing with our study on Canadian women and girls in sport.
We have witnesses with us this morning who I would like to welcome.
Just to let you know, you'll have 10 minutes to make your presentations. Then there will be rounds of questions, with seven minutes for the first round, and that includes the answers. My colleague, who I am replacing today, is always reminding not just our guests but the questioners as well that it includes the answers.
Excuse me. I am reminded by the clerk that it's five minutes today for opening statements.
I would also like to welcome our colleague Mr. Simms today. He is sitting in for our regular chair, Ms. Fry.
With that, I welcome Ms. Lee, appearing as an individual; Brenda Andress, commissioner of the Canadian Women’s Hockey League; and Shannon Donovan, the executive director of Football Canada.
Thank you very much for being here. We look forward to your presentations.
In the order listed here, we'll hear first from Ms. Lee.
