Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I thank you very much for your testimony today.
I also want to thank all of the participants for being here this afternoon.
It's great to be in Fredericton with my committee colleagues. We've had a wonderful couple of weeks.
I will note that this is the first committee of the House of Commons to come to Fredericton since the Committee on the Status of Women came to Fredericton in 2010, appropriately enough. We're glad to be here.
I'll also note the presence today of MLA David Coon, and former MP Maurice Harquail, who've joined us here.
Professor Everitt, I'm sure that my colleagues beside me here will speak to the issue of women's representation in legislative bodies. I want to expand that a little bit further to talk about other minority groups, indigenous Canadians, persons living with disabilities, racialized minorities, and young people. Do you have any advice on how the electoral system can potentially privilege or disadvantage other groups of Canadians from having the opportunity to serve as elected representatives?
