Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome, and thank you for coming. We really appreciate this. We've been working on this report for some time and we want to make sure we get it right.
I want to touch on a few things with you. Could you fill me in a little bit on the situation with respect to women in the Métis community: women's income level and access to services, which is directly affected by some of the things you've already mentioned, such as child care, and so on, their impact on women's economic security?
