Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mesdames, thank you for being here today. I'm really fascinated by what you've managed to do despite the difficulties you encounter.
There are women here who work in various areas but who face situations that are very similar. For example, I know there were harassment incidents at the RCMP until Ms. Busson arrived. We often heard about them, but no longer. So I assume that's been resolved.
In the mining industry as well, I know there have been a lot of harassment incidents and that it's hard for women, just as it is in the construction industry. I don't know how it is for engineers. One assumes that, as the men are more educated, there would be less harassment. I wonder whether that's true or false.
I would also like to tell you, Ms. Mihychuk, that I would have liked to be able to meet you two months ago because, at that time, we met with Canadian mine owners. If we had known what you're telling us today, we could have brought pressure to bear to move things along. What you're doing will help us enormously in doing our job better. I would like to know what your biggest problems are as women because there still aren't enough of you in your respective occupations.
Furthermore, Ms. Nelson and Ms. Lux, I was fascinated by the fact you are engaged in prevention. Unfortunately, that's not yet being done in Quebec. I would like to know a little more on that subject.
With that, I'll let you speak.
