Thank you so much.
First of all, I salute the efforts of the committee to revisit this topic. Obviously a year out from the federal election, given some of the work that's happening across the country, it's really important to sustain this conversation and to look at new and innovative ways to get more women into politics.
Eleni and I are going to share our time. Just briefly, I'll give you an introduction to Equal Voice. I think you know that we're a 15-year-old national, multi-partisan organization that promotes the election of more women at all levels of government, in fact.
We're excited about being here today not just because of the excellent discussion on our Daughters of the Vote program, which we are very proud of, but also because Equal Voice has a federal mandate to pursue systemic change across jurisdictions in Canada. So, the timing of this invitation was excellent because we have in fact just developed a 12-point plan, not just for the federal arena, but also for other political institutions and jurisdictions, to really assess the degree to which they are embodying both inclusive and sustainable workplaces for women across party lines.
To that end, we have a 12-point plan, and we have both a brief and a chart. I'm going to turn to Eleni to speak to some of the first pieces of that analysis that we're providing to the committee, and then I'll wrap it up.
