Thank you, Madam Chair. Good morning, Madam Chair, vice-chairs, and members of the committee.
I would like to begin by thanking you for inviting us here today.
We're delighted to be able to be with you. I and my colleague, Deborah Tunis, look forward to sharing with you some of our perspectives and knowledge on women and poverty. We look forward to your questions and insights on this very important topic.
I'm going to turn it over to Deborah. We're going to be a bit of a tag team here this morning on the issues.
