Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I thank the witnesses for being here today.
Ms. Vachon, Ms. Codsi, it is a pleasure to see you again. We have crossed paths a few times over the years.
Good morning Ms. Bernier. I am happy to meet you.
This study was truly necessary because we wanted to find ways to encourage women to take an active part in international trade. However, first we need to figure out which current initiatives work and which do not. Maybe we should also look at new measures to meet the needs of women entrepreneurs and women on the ground who want to do business internationally. That is one aspect that I, for one, would like to explore.
You have suggested certain initiatives and made recommendations, but I will go even further.
My first questions are for Ms. Vachon and Ms. Codsi. If we have some time left, I will also ask for Ms. Bernier's input.
Of the initiatives currently in place, which ones should we keep?
Should we introduce new measures? If so, which ones?
