Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank all of the witnesses for coming out. It's been really fascinating--rather depressing, as a woman, but fascinating.
I'd like to start with Mr. LeBlond. In your presentation you specifically say that “the majority of young women do not have a good understanding of what applied science or engineering technology careers entail and therefore cannot aspire to those careers”.
You used an example, saying that if Julie doesn't know those careers exist, she's not going to take that type of career path. How is it that little Johnny knows and little Julie doesn't? I mean, they go to school together. I'm just fascinated by that. I know it's true, but I'm wondering what we're missing.
