Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My first question is to the YMCA. I'm a big fan of the YMCA. I have three YMCAs in my riding in Montreal. I also have a YWCA and I'm not sure whether you're independent or both related.
You mentioned the youth empowerment mandate that you have in developing countries. You talked about programs that were related to education. One of the things that this committee has been seized with quite a bit in the last few meetings is this whole subject of forced marriages with young girls, child marriages effectively, and then being pulled out of the educational system and being really doomed to a life of having babies.
Does the YMCA—this is a delicate subject to advocate—try to engage in some of the developing countries with the local population to.... Obviously, if these young girls are going to be empowered at some point, they have to be able to develop themselves as well as boys, and they don't have that opportunity in some cases.
Do you intercede with the local population and try to get that message across as part of your youth empowerment mandate?
