Thank you, Madam Chair. You're doing a great job.
I have a comment first. In a previous life, over 20 years ago, I brought a program called Women do Math to my riding, the Yukon, and we had hundreds of girls and young women in high school or junior high listen to professionals in the sciences and maths in the riding, and it was very popular and very successful. In fact, there's one coming up this Saturday, a similar thing. I would encourage any community that doesn't do such an event to do it. It's very workable.
I'm just curious as to whether any of the witnesses have any stats on absenteeism. Are men or women showing up for the same amount of time at work? I'm just talking about for regular reasons; I'm not talking about child bearing or anything because I'm going to talk about that later.
