Welcome back to the 140th meeting of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women.
For the second hour I am pleased to welcome, as individuals, Shirley Allan and Arline Wickersham.
What we are going to do is see how far we can get. We'll get your testimonies done and will see when we can get to rounds of questioning.
I'm going to turn the floor over to Shirley.
Shirley, you have seven minutes.
