Good morning and welcome.
We are returning to our study on the economic security of women in Canada.
We're very pleased today to have with us Martha Friendly, who is the executive director of the Childcare Resource and Research Unit. She's with us by video from Toronto.
We are also hearing from Pierre Fortin, who is a professor in the Department of Economics at the Université du Québec à Montréal.
Welcome.
We're going to start with Mr. Fortin for 10 minutes.
