Thank you.
Thanks to all our witnesses. Again, thank you for rescheduling to this week. We're very glad to have you all with us.
My first question is for Professor Lahey.
Could you maybe explain to the committee or talk to us about the fact that there is a wage gap for women in STEM fields and that there are fewer women being employed in these fields? How much is that costing the economy? How much is that affecting not only women, but how is this wage gap affecting the overall Canadian economy?
