Madam Chair, I am very pleased to be invited to this committee, and I am very pleased to see you running the show quite well.
Mesdames, welcome to your House of Commons committee.
First of all, Madam Chair, I have to excuse myself because I misled the committee when I said a few minutes ago that it is 52% women in Canada. Well, based on the figures that I checked on the Statistics Canada site, I have learned that, based on the figure for 2017, there are 36.7 million Canadians, and 50.4% are women and 49.6% are men, so it's almost equal. I'm sorry for that.
