Thank you, Madam Chair, and I'd like to thank everyone for coming here today. You're our first witnesses. Welcome and thank you, that was very helpful.

I have some questions for both of you, but I think I'll start with DFATD first.

The BWIT program that you have, you said it connects the entrepreneurs across Canada. You specifically talked about the LinkedIn group and I found that very interesting.

I have a couple of questions on that. I wonder if you can elaborate a bit more on the LinkedIn group that you have there. Is it one-on-one like a mentorship program that they can talk back and forth? How do you promote it so that a lot of women know about this?
