Good morning, and welcome to the 136th meeting of the standing committee on the status of women. Today's meeting is being televised.
Today, we'll continue our study on the challenges faced by senior women, with a focus on the factors contributing to their poverty and vulnerability. For this, we welcome on our first panel, from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Katherine Scott, who is a senior researcher. From the International Longevity Centre Canada, we have Margaret Gillis, president, as well as Kiran Rabheru, who is the board chair.
We'll begin with testimony. We'll begin with seven minutes each, starting with Katherine Scott.
