Happy joyful. Clerk, you have your marching orders. If you could ensure that we get that done, that would be wonderful.
Before we welcome our witnesses, I'd like to provide this trigger warning. We will be discussing experiences related to violence and assaults. This may be triggering to viewers with similar experiences. If you feel distressed or you need help, please advise the clerk. I think that's really important for all the witnesses, all of the people who are on these panels, the questioners, and us as members of Parliament. Let's just be recognizing that these are very difficult discussions that we are having, so let's always try—although it's never going to be light-hearted—to be compassionate, especially to the people we're speaking to.
On today's first panel, I'm really excited to welcome the Sudbury Women's Centre and Giulia Carpenter. If I pronounce your name wrong, please correct me.
From Women's Shelters Canada, we have Lise Martin. Welcome, Lise.
Also, from West Central Women's Resource Centre, we have Lorie English.
Each of you will have five minutes. I have my beautiful little watch here right now. I will start the winding up for you, but we're asking all of you to try to stay within five minutes, especially since time is so crazy right now.
I'm going to pass it over to Giulia for five minutes.
You have the floor.
