Good morning.
Welcome to the 132nd meeting of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. This meeting is in public.
Today, we'll continue with our study on the challenges faced by senior women, with a focus on factors contributing to their poverty and vulnerability.
We are pleased to welcome in the first hour, from the Hearing Health Alliance, Jean Holden, Advisory Board Member, and Valerie Spino, Advisory Board Member. Then from Pembina Active Living (55+), we have Robert Roehle, President, and Alanna Jones, Executive Director.
I'll now turn the floor over to the Hearing Health Alliance for an opening statement.
