Ellen Frood

Well, the men aren't listening. They're still letting it happen. We are letting this glass ceiling, this difference, this gender inequality, continue to happen.

We talk about it a lot, we spend a lot of money trying to figure out what to do, and nothing happens.

Very good.

I also want to thank our witnesses. It was an excellent discussion today. Thank you for the work you're doing, particularly for saving all of these women.

We look forward to incorporating your testimony in our recommendations in our report.

For the rest of you, potentially we will see you on Tuesday.

The meeting is adjourned.
