Good morning. I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 46 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on the Status of Women. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted on Monday, October 31, the committee will resume its study of women and girls in sport.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of June 23, 2022. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application.
I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of the witnesses and members.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. For those participating by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your mike, and please mute it when you're not speaking.
For those on Zoom, to hear the interpretation, you have the choice at the bottom of your screen of floor, English or French. For those in the room, you can use your earpiece and select the desired channel.
I remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair. For members in the room, if you wish to speak, please raise your hand. For members on Zoom, please use the “raise hand” function. The clerk and I will manage the speaking list as best we can.
In accordance with our routine motion, I am informing the committee that all witnesses completed the required connection tests in advance of the meeting.
Before we start, I want to seek agreement from the committee to publish and redistribute the press release that was circulated by the clerk last Friday. Has everybody had a chance to look at the press release?
Are all of you in favour of it?
