We will now reconvene with our second panel of the day on Bill C-78.
It gives me great pleasure to introduce, from the Canadian Centre for Men and Families, Mr. Robert Samery, chair of the board, and Ms. Jess Haines, associate professor at the University of Guelph. From the National Shared Parenting Association, we have Ms. Heidi Nabert, president, and Ms. Lynda Baracetti, director, LGBTQ Issues. From The Redwood, we have Ms. Abi Ajibolade. Abi is so nice. She said that if anybody has trouble with her last name, they can call her Abi. She is the executive director.
From West Coast LEAF, we have Ms. Elba Bendo, director of law reform, and Ms. Kim Hawkins, executive director, Rise Women's Legal Centre.
Welcome to all of you.
We'll go in the order on the agenda and start with the Canadian Centre for Men and Families.
