The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

I think we will call the meeting to order, it being now 3:30 and a bit.

Welcome to the witnesses.

Today, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying and looking at the increased participation of women in non-traditional occupations.

Our witnesses today are from the Building and Construction Trades Department, from Dig-All Construction Limited, and from the Commission scolaire de Laval.

Welcome.

Each group will have ten minutes to present, and that's ten minutes for the whole group. That will be followed by a question and answer session, in which the time allotted is for both the question and the answer. I just wanted to tell you that.

I will begin, following the order on the agenda here, with the Building and Construction Trades Department, AFL-CIO, Canadian office.

Mr. Smillie.
