Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for appearing today on this important issue.
My questions will be directed to Ms. Shaw from the Sustainable Menstrual Equity Coalition.
Ms. Shaw, how do you envision ensuring access to free menstrual equity products in all public spaces, such as schools, libraries, malls, workplaces and other community facilities? We know that by December 15 this year, all federally regulated workplaces and buildings will require free pads and tampons in every washroom.
We also heard of the barriers and which groups are typically harder to reach. How do you work to overcome these barriers?
