Welcome, everybody, to meeting number 19 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on the Status of Women. Today we are continuing our study on unpaid work.
We're lucky to have with us today, from the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women, Jacqueline Neapole, who is the executive director, and from the International Labour Organization, Laura Addati, who is a policy specialist for women's economic empowerment.
Each of our witnesses will have five minutes to make their opening remarks, and then we'll go into our round of questions, where today we are upgrading to use the 30-second warning. When people come to the end of their talking time, I will gently and kindly cut them off.
With that, we will start with Jacqueline.
You have five minutes.
