I call the meeting to order.
This is the 15th meeting of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. We are extremely pleased this morning to have Minister Oda with us. She will be here to answer questions.
I understand you will be here for an hour, Ms. Oda. It is now 11:15, unfortunately, so I hope that means 12:15, but I am going to turn it over to you as quickly as I can.
We very much appreciate your getting here this morning and sharing your vision and answering some questions that the committee members have.
Minister Oda.
