Thank you, Madam Chair.

I would like to thank our witnesses for being here today.

I want to start my questions around the racialized newcomer women pilot. My first question is around the $4.2 million allocated to support these women in addressing the barriers they may face.

Can the department officials share some of the understanding they have around the barriers that these women face? How much of that money is specifically allocated to francophone racialized women coming to Canada?
