I will call the meeting to order. I know it's a few minutes late, but I think the rain has put a bit of a vehicle to our getting here.
Today, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), this is the study of the cancellation of the mandatory long-form census and its impact on women's equality in Canada. I believe this is our final session with witnesses.
I'd like to welcome Leroy Stone, who is here as an individual; the Canadian Council on Social Development, and we have Peggy Taillon and Katherine Scott; the Fédération québécoise des professeures et professeurs d'université, Françoise Naudillon, counsellor and professor, Concordia University; and the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, and that's Doug Norris and Greg Jodouin.
We're going to give you ten minutes each for your presentations, which will be followed by a question and answer period.
At the end of today's session we'll perhaps leave ten minutes for the committee to do some wrap-up business.
So to start, Mr. Stone.
