Welcome. I would like to wish all of you a happy new year.
This is the 42nd meeting of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women.
I would like to welcome our new clerk, Cynara Corbin, who will replace Ms. Boivin, who is leaving us for reasons that are becoming fairly obvious. We wish her all the best with her pregnancy and wish her a very good maternity leave. We thank her for her services.
I would also like to welcome Joyce Bateman, who is joining the committee. We will confirm this after the lists are made, but I believe that Pat Perkins will also be joining us.
I would also like to welcome Mylène Freeman, who is the official opposition critic on the status of women.
Since our committee always does good work, without further ado, we will continue our study on promising practices to prevent violence against women.
We are pleased to welcome Jackson Katz by video conference today.
from MVP Strategies.
Welcome, Mr. Katz. You have 10 minutes for your presentation, followed by a period of questions.
