Welcome to the 137th meeting of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. 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.
I am pleased to welcome, from CARP, Laura Tamblyn Watts, who is the Chief Public Policy Officer.
From Dalhousie University, we welcome Lori Weeks, Associate Professor, School of Nursing. She's here by video conference. I would just note that we're having a little difficulty with that. Lori, we're going to do our very best to make sure that we stay connected and that the questions are answered, but if there are any problems, we may lose you.
From Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada, we have Anita Pokiak, Board Member.
Since both Laura and Lori have already given their seven-minute introductions, we'll have Anita give her seven-minute introduction. The rest are just questions and answers today.
Anita, I'm turning the floor over to you for seven minutes.
