Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Let me thank both of you for coming here today. You must be particularly brave, because we've heard anecdotally that many organizations are fearful of coming to present on this issue for fear of reprisal. So I say a particular thank you to both of you for being here today.
I have a number of questions. I'm going to put some of them out there, and then if we have more time, I'll come back to them.
My first question is to both of you about the change of language. I realize you're not party to the decisions, but what would you speculate motivates the change of language? I'm interested in your perceptions of that.
My second question is, does the change in language reflect the systemic changes at DFAIT?
Kate, you spoke to it, particularly when you talked about the removal of the position of the deputy director for women, peace and security.
Then I'm wondering if you could speak a little bit more about the importance of the training you referred to.
Kim, I'm particularly distressed by your comment that women cannot lead any proposal. I think that's what you said. I'd like to hear more about that, please.
I'll stop there, and then come back to other questions.
