Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the 106th meeting of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. Just as a reminder, this meeting is in public.
Today we're starting our study on the barriers facing women in politics.
I am pleased to welcome the officials from Statistics Canada. Today we have with us Pamela Best, assistant director, social and aboriginal statistics division; Anna Kemeny, survey manager, social and aboriginal statistics division; and Jennifer Kaddatz, chief, social and aboriginal statistics division.
We'll be turning the floor over to you. I believe that one of you will be speaking. You will have seven minutes.
Please go ahead.
