Good afternoon, everyone.
Welcome to the 117th meeting of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. This meeting of course is in public.
Today, we'll resume our study on the system of shelters and transition houses serving women and children affected by violence against women and intimate partner violence.
For this, I am pleased to welcome our two panellists for today.
From the Beausejour Family Crisis Resource Centre, we have Kristal LeBlanc, Executive Director. If I've said that incorrectly, please make sure you change that.
From the YWCA Lethbridge and District, we have Jennifer Lepko, Chief Executive Officer.
We are going to allow each of you seven minutes.
We'll begin with Kristal. The floor is yours for seven minutes.
