I call this meeting to order.
As most of us know, unfortunately, it is very likely we will be interrupted by votes, likely around 5:45. I thank the witnesses for being flexible in keeping their presentations to eight minutes each, which means that if we are interrupted, at least we won't be interrupting you midway through your remarks.
Welcome, everyone. My thanks to the witnesses for the presentations they will be giving before us today.
We have today, in the first panel, from the the National Association of Women and the Law, Julie Shugarman, who is the executive director, and Anne Levesque, the co-chair of the national steering committee. We also have from the New Brunswick Coalition for Pay Equity, Johanne Perron, the executive director.
We will start with the National Association of Women and the Law.
Julie, go ahead.
