Thank you so much, Chair.
Ms. Kouidri, I want to start out by congratulating you on your research, and also on being awarded the scholarship to research. You spoke a lot, certainly, about intersectionality and the impact of not just being disabled but also being a woman who immigrated to Canada and the impact that had in terms of making things a lot more difficult.
I've often spoken about intersectionality and how it impacts people's lives. We know that, for example, 70% of individuals who are disabled live in poverty. I have brought that up many times. In fact, it's even higher when you research rates of poverty among BIPOC communities.
I'm wondering if you could speak to that and if you could make a couple of comments on your research of your mentor.
