Members of the committee, I'd like to bring the committee to order.
As we are continuing our study on the economic security of women, we have witnesses from the Department of Finance and HRSD. They will not be making any presentations, but we will be asking them questions.
So we will go through our normal rounds. The first round will be seven minutes, the second round will be five minutes, and the third round will be five minutes, and then we will continue until you've exhausted your questions.
If the department doesn't have the information you ask for, I will blame the committee members, because the department did say, please present your questions if you have any specific stuff—But you will supply it later; we won't let you get away with it. Basically, we cannot blame you if you do not have the material here.
With that, I would like to start with Mr. Pearson for seven minutes. You can ask anyone a question here.
