Good morning, and welcome to the 146th meeting of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. Today's meeting is in public.
Today we will continue our study of the treatment of women within the Department of National Defence. For this I am pleased to welcome, as an individual, Professor Alan Okras; and from The WPS Group, we have Kristine St-Pierre, director.
I now turn the floor over to Professor Okros.
You have seven minutes for your opening statement.
