I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 120 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on the Status of Women.
Before we begin, I would like to ask all in-person participants to read the guidelines written on the updated cards on the table. These measures are in place to help prevent audio feedback incidents and to protect the health and safety of all participants, including the interpreters.
I'd also like to remind all members of the following points. Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. All comments should be addressed through the chair.
Members, please raise your hand if you wish to speak, whether participating in person or on Zoom.
Before we begin, I'd like to acknowledge that we have Madeleine back in the room. We didn't appropriately say goodbye to Madeleine when she moved on to another committee.
