Okay. I'd like to call this meeting to order. This is meeting 41 of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, and we are continuing our study of women and pension security.
Before I continue, I'd like to acknowledge and welcome our Russian delegation from the presidential administration from Russia. Welcome.
I understand that you are a public administration reform program on a gender study tour. Welcome. We're very pleased to have you with us, and we're very glad that these issues are being taken seriously not only here in this country but in your country as well. I hope your stay here is very pleasant, and I hope we can mutually learn from each other.
We are also very pleased to have witnesses from the Confédération des syndicats nationaux—did I say that right? They're on the video, so that's Madame Claudette Carbonneau and Nathalie Joncas, the actuary.
As well, from the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec, we have Danielle Casara. Welcome. We have Marie-Josée Naud, the union adviser for the education department.
We would ask that you give your presentation. We also ask that you give us about ten minutes. Try to keep it within that timeframe, and then we will begin our first round. Who would like to begin?
We'll have the video conference folks start first, s'il vous plaît.
Go ahead.
