Thank you, Madam Chair.
Hello everyone.
I am very pleased to be here, sitting in for Ms. Harder today on the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. Having served as parliamentary secretary for the status of women for four and a half years, I am very familiar with the files. Moreover, I can say that not much has changed since then.
I would like to ask Ms. Svigir a question.
There has been a mass arrival of immigrants in recent months, and I do not think the current government has established a program to fully recognize the abilities of women immigrants. I remember that the former minister of immigration, Mr. Jason Kenney, had created that kind of program, but I don't think it exists any more.
With the mass arrival of immigrants, do immigrant women have more trouble finding work than immigrant men?
Does the fact that we do not recognize the skills of these women pose a long-term danger for them?
