I call this meeting to order. Welcome, everybody, to meeting number 20 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on the Status of Women.
We are here today to consider the supplementary estimates for 2020-21 and the main estimates for 2021-22. The clerk distributed the supplementaries to the committee on February 18 and the mains on February 26.
We want to welcome the Honourable Maryam Monsef, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Rural Economic Development, as well as senior officials from the Department for Women and Gender Equality Canada. We have Guylaine Roy, Nancy Gardiner and Lisa Smylie.
We're glad to have you here. Minister, we'll give you five minutes to make your opening remarks and then we'll go into our questions.
Please go ahead.
