Seeing that it's 3:30, we will start our meeting. Welcome, everyone.
Today we'll be having academics speak to us. We have a lot of expertise in the room, and I'm expecting everyone to put their thinking caps on.
We'll start with those who are visiting us via teleconference today. I'll introduce each panel member before they speak, one at a time. They'll each have 10 minutes to make comments to us.
Our first speaker will be Rosalind Cavaghan, a Ph.D. research fellow at Radboud University in the Netherlands. Her recent work has focused on the European Commission's efforts at gender mainstreaming and the gendered nature of the European Commission's responses to the recent financial crisis.
Welcome, Rosalind. You have 10 minutes.
