Good morning, colleagues.
We are returning to our study of Bill C-337, an act to amend the Judges Act and the Criminal Code regarding sexual assault. We're very fortunate today to have a large group of witnesses. We begin with the Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity. We have Jeremy Dias, who is the executive director, and Katerina Frost, who is the government affairs coordinator.
We also have from the DisAbled Women's Network Canada, Bonnie Brayton, who is the national executive director.
From “WomenatthecentrE”, we have Nneka MacGregor and Mandi Gray.
From the Avalon Sexual Assault Centre, by video conference from Halifax, Nova Scotia, we have Jackie Stevens, who is the executive director.
I want to welcome all of our witnesses today. Each of you will be able to begin with your five minutes of comments.
We'll begin with Katerina for five minutes.
