Members of the committee, I'd like to start.
We have two sets of witnesses. They are here and have made an effort to come here, and we would like to show them that we are very appreciative.
Our normal routine is that the first round goes seven minutes, but with agreement from everyone, I propose that we go for five minutes, so that we'll all have second rounds.
Then the witnesses will have a chance to wrap up with a minute each. We're working on a very tight schedule.
Today we have with us Ardith Toogood, from the Canadian Federation of University Women,
Ms. Nathalie Goulet, Director of the Conseil d'intervention pour l'accès des femmes au travail,
and Brenda Murphy, from the Urban Core Support Network.
Each of you has five minutes to present. I will be very strict on the time.
We can start with Ardith.
