Lysane Blanchette-Lamothe at the Status of Women Committee

Thank you, Mrs. Truppe.

So we now go back to our agenda. Today, we have five witnesses with us.

Thank you for being part of our meeting today, ladies.

First, from the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund, we have Kim Stanton, Legal Director, Ainslie Benedict, a partner with Nelligan O'Brien Payne, LLP, and Alison McEwen.

Thank you for joining us.

Then, by videoconference, we will hear from two representatives of the Law Society of Upper Canada: Josée Bouchard, Equity Advisor, and Ekua Quansah, Associate Counsel, both from the Equity Initiatives Department.

So each group of witnesses will have a maximum of 10 minutes for their opening remarks. When the two groups have finished, we will move to a question-and-answer period.

We will start with the representatives from the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund.

Ladies, you have 10 minutes in total. The floor is yours.
