Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you to both of you, Jenelle and Karen, for being here today.
Jenelle, it sounds like your decision to leave politics was very much based on factors internal to you and to your family. I'm a mother as well. I have a young son who is seven years old, and it's very difficult to get on the plane every Sunday night and come back on Thursday, but I, too, am very fortunate to have a very supportive husband who in fact told me, “You have to do this.”
In both of our cases, it sounds like we made our decisions relative to our families. I guess I'll leave it at that, but I wanted to know if there were any external pressures in terms of situations where you were publicly shamed or shamed by other people for being a mother and a politician, for making that choice to commit yourself to public life at the same time that you had a young family.
