I want to thank all of our witnesses.
For me, this is a fabulous panel. It's kind of a Kodak moment in this study, because all three of you have represented all of the issues we've been dealing with regarding how women and young girls need to be engaged so we can get more women into skilled trades. I think there have been some particularly strong pieces of evidence from all three of you that have helped us.
Jennifer, you said that every career is going to involve computers, and in fact it probably does right now, and if girls don't learn to code the language of computers, they will be left behind. It should probably be seared on the minds of every parent raising a young girl these days that this is a critical component of their education.
I wanted to kind of take off from that, and I actually wanted to clarify something that madame Sellah said. I think she stated that this budget has nothing in it for skilled trades. Nothing could be further from the truth. Just last week I participated in an announcement at Ottawa Hydro here about giving another $300,000 to try to improve things for women in skilled trades. We've been talking about the components. Awareness is also a really big component.
Can you talk about what you think we should be doing? Is it more programming of the kind you're currently seeing? Is it awareness? Is it something we need to do with parents? I'd like to start with Jennifer and just go across, please.
