Pam Damoff at the Status of Women Committee

I'm going to call the meeting back to order.

Welcome back to meeting 111 of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women.

We're continuing our study on barriers facing women in politics.

I'm pleased to welcome, as an individual, Ms. Daniela Chivu. From the Young Women's Leadership Network, we have Ms. Arezoo Najibzadeh, executive director. From the City of Iqaluit, we have Mayor Madeleine Redfern.

Thank you all for being here.

I'll turn the floor over to you, Mayor Redfern, for your opening statement. You have seven minutes.
