The point has been made, Ms. Ménard. If I can improve decorum in this room, I'll gladly do so. I will pay particular attention to that. Thank you for the comment.
I'll go back to my instructions for the participants.
Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. If you are on the video conference, please click on the microphone icon to unmute yourself. When you are not speaking, your mike should be on mute. For members in the room, if you wish to speak, please raise your hand. For members on Zoom, please use the raise hand function.
For those on Zoom, at the bottom of your screen you can select the appropriate channel for interpretation: either floor, English or French. For those in the room, you can use the earpiece and select the desired channel. I would like to remind the witnesses that committee members can ask their questions in French or English. If they need interpretation, I would ask them to take the time to select the desired channel.
We have two witnesses for this second hour: Mitzie Hunter, president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Women's Foundation, and Kelly Tallon Franklin, chief executive officer of Courage for Freedom.
Ms. Tallon Franklin, the floor is yours for five minutes.
