Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Before we start our meeting this morning I want to bring you some news and encouragement about our work here on committee.
Yesterday, Facebook announced that they have upgraded their functionality to address revenge porn issues. Now, if there's objectionable material that was put up without your consent, you have a button to notify them, and they will take the material down from their platform, from everyone's pages. They will also use face recognition software to take it off Instagram and any of the platforms they are in charge of.
Kevin Chan cited the work of our committee. How exciting, you are having an impact. What an encouragement this is as we continue with our study on economic security.
Today, we have with us Carole Gingras, Director of the Status of Women Service of the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec.
We also have Meg Gingrich from United Steelworkers, and Debora De Angelis from the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Canada.
Welcome, ladies. You each have seven minutes for your remarks.
Are you there, Ms. Gingras?
