Good morning, and welcome to the 55th meeting of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. Today, we are continuing our study on women in skilled trades and science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
We are also continuing our “paperless committees” pilot project. As you can see, the chair is not leading by example, since she is still using paper documents. But some members of the committee like Mr. Barlow are ready to be part of that new initiative right now. Good for you!
Today, we are pleased to welcome members of the
Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology, Ms. Danniele Livengood and Ms. Sandra Eix. From the Centre for Education and Work, we have Ms. Suzanne Winterflood and Ms. Marjorie Marchinko.
We also welcome Kate McInturff, representing the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, and from the
and from Women in Science and Engineering from Carleton University, Ms. Natalie Linklater and Ms. Rim Khazall.
Welcome to you all.
Each group will have 10 minutes for their presentation, followed by questions from members.
We will start with the Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology. You have 10 minutes.
