Thank you, Madam Chair.
I think it's important that we're talking about STEM, encouraging women in STEM, and talking about education and training, and mentorship in those roles. I do think that's important, but I'm going to concentrate a little bit wider.
My questions are really directed to you, Madam Savoie, and Status of Women Canada.
You mentioned that it's obviously complex, encouraging young girls and women to pursue these career paths. I'm wondering whether in your department, or across departments, there's a look at more generally systemic barriers like poverty, like the fact that women still do the majority of unpaid work—raising children and things like that—which is affecting not only whether girls are going into these fields, but also specifically whether they're moving up in them, whether they're making as much money in these fields.
