First of all, thank you very much. It's a real honour to have been nominated and supported to be chair of the status of women committee, a committee that I was honoured to be part of in the last Parliament and certainly a committee that I believe in a great deal. I am looking forward to working with every single one of you, women and men, to ensure that we move forward in an area that is so important to all of us, essentially, the status of women in our country.
If I may, I will just start off by saying that my priority is to make sure that we have a respectful and certainly equal approach to debate and discussion, and I look forward to bringing that forward as I can, as chair, and I would hope that we can all be part of that valiant effort.
Again, thank you very much.
I understand that the first order would be to discuss the routine motions. Would it be the wish of the committee to enter into that discussion?
