I will now call this meeting to order.
We do have some witnesses appearing on video conference today and we have some who are with us in person. I welcome Susan Russell from the Canadian Federation of University Women; Margot Young, who will be joining us by video, from the University of British Columbia; and Joanna Birenbaum from the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund.
Ms. Russell, you're representing the National Association of Women and the Law as well.
Thank you very much.
We will begin our presentations with Ms. Russell, please.
