Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to both our witnesses today. It's been fascinating. I wish I could have you over for coffee and we could talk about this for a very long time.
Of course, it is fantastic to see you Idee. It's nice to be able to chat, albeit distantly and quickly. The first questions actually will be for you, if you don't mind.
You did speak a little about the impacts on women and girls. I know that you were with Minister Paradis when he worked very hard on the Muskoka initiative that was a precursor to the feminist international assistance policy. We are very proud of the work that was done during that time and what it has led to as well.
Could you talk a little bit more about what you see as the gendered impacts of COVID-19 and what you would think would be an appropriate response from Canada?
