Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Minister, for coming here today.

Thank you to all of the officials for being with us today.

Minister, you are championing feminist recovery at the cabinet table with initiatives such as the feminist response and recovery fund.

Recently, Canada was recognized by CARE International as having the most gender responsive plan to address COVID-19. Kudos to you and your team.

Minister, this week you hosted the Canada Feminist Response and Recovery Summit, with experts from across Canada, including women witnesses who had already appeared at our committee. I attended an interesting session on the topic of the care economy.

Minister Monsef, can you please elaborate on what you're hearing from experts? Can you provide us with an update on how we are supporting our carers, particularly our marginalized women who provide care for Canadians?
