Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), this committee is undertaking a study of the cancellation of the mandatory long-form census and its impact on women's equality in Canada.
I'd like to welcome: Ivan Fellegi, former head of Statistics Canada; the Association féminine d'éducation et d'action sociale, with Céline Duval, president, and Madeleine Bourget, vice-president; and the Canadian Federation of University Women, with Samantha Spady, communications coordinator, and Robin Jackson, executive director.
The rules are simple. I know that Mr. Fellegi knows them by now. You have 10 minutes as a group, so you can decide how you divide up your 10 minutes. After your 10-minute presentation, we will begin a question and answer section. Because we have only an hour in which to undertake this, I will give you a two-minute signal so that you can tighten up your presentation, know what to leave out at the end, and get a sense of where you're going.
I shall begin with Mr. Fellegi.
Welcome, Mr. Fellegi. It's nice to see you again.
