Thank you very much.
Ms. Flanagan, one of the points you raised was the importance of mentorship and young girls being able to see women working in science, technology, and engineering. A previous panellist shared with us that one of the challenges faced by many women in this field is in fact the work-family balance.
As we know, many women in Canada don't have access to affordable, accessible child care. You have many women who are either of child-bearing age or with young children and are leaving some of these grounds of employment, therefore taking away some of the mentors young girls could have.
Do you think, Ms. Flanagan, that ensuring there is accessible and affordable child care is critical when we're talking about encouraging women to stay in these fields and that it's also something that might allow more girls to look up to more women in these fields?
