Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the 20th hearing of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. Today we are undertaking our study of the 2014-2015 main estimates.
I want to welcome the Minister of Status of Women, the Honourable K. Kellie Leitch, as well as those accompanying her: Ms. Linda Savoie, Acting Head of Agency, and Ms. Anik Lapointe, Chief Financial Officer and Director, Corporate Services, both from Status of Women Canada.
I will first of all yield the floor to Dr. Leitch.
You have the floor for 10 minutes.
