The Chair NDP Irene Mathyssen

I would like to begin. I would ask everyone to be seated.

I welcome our visitors. We have with us Saman Ahsan, executive director, and Juniper Glass, director of development, with the Girls Action Foundation. We also have Paulette Senior and Farrah Todosichuk, with YWCA Canada.

I don't think I've forgotten anyone.

Welcome. We are so very glad you're here. We'll begin with 10 minutes for each panel. Then we'll continue with questions.

Ms. Ahsan, would you please begin? You have 10 minutes.
