The Chair Conservative Karen Vecchio

Good morning. Welcome to the 141st meeting of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. Today's meeting is in public.

Today, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), and the motion adopted by the committee on Tuesday, June 19, 2018, we will commence our study on the treatment of women within the Department of National Defence.

For this, I am pleased to welcome Danielle Dewitt, as an individual; and from the LGBT Purge Fund, Michelle Douglas, Chair; and Martine Roy, President. She is joining us by video conference from Montreal, Quebec.

I'm now going to turn the floor over to Danielle. You have seven minutes.
