Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to our guests for being here today and for their informative presentations.
I noted with interest that the minister recently announced a program to support young girls in leadership roles. It's specifically based on a pilot project in Toronto called Protégé. My understanding of this program is that it encourages leadership in young women by allowing them to job-shadow municipal councillors. Perhaps there's more to it than that, but that's the part I know about.
In fact, a number of us here participated back in November or December, I think, in a similar program that McGill University has. I think it's called Women in the House. I had a young fourth-year environmental studies student shadow me for the day. I thought that was great. I would have loved to have had that sort of opportunity to shadow a councillor or a member of Parliament when I was younger.
I was wondering if you could tell us about that project, its purpose, and how it's going.
