Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to make a comment to start.
Ms. Ibbitson, thank you very much for the two recommendations you made with regard to the interpretation of maternity leave, child assistance, and the need to have additional funds specifically for low-income families.
We examined this at the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. I see that a lot of these things are related. Perhaps we could share some reports.
My first question is to Mr. Tadic.
I've had the opportunity to meet several representatives of the welding association, and I know you've done a fantastic job in trying to build the relationship with women in trades.
With the work you've done with the welding association, what have you done to try to get other trades involved in hiring more women in trades? It is, as you indicated, a growth opportunity to get more women involved moving forward.
