Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to carry on with my questioning around the gender lens, but I wanted to start by just sharing that last night late in the night, I received a message from one of my constituents who has family escaping Ukraine. They are in Romania right now, a mother with two children. She has all the infrastructure she needs when she gets to Canada but can't make her way here because she needs biometrics to pass through the visa applications, and that is impossible. She's there in Romania with only $200 and yet she can't get a biometrics appointment until April 29, which is nine days after the expiration of their visa. That's how I'm coming to the table today, with those thoughts on my mind.
Getting back to the gender lens, I want to ask about the modernization of EI. I think some of these legacy policies were made before we really thought about women in work and diverse genders coming to work and persons with disabilities coming to work. I just wondered if staff could share with us how the gender lens is being applied to the modernization of EI and that work.
