With pleasure, Mr. Chair.
Good evening, colleagues.
I thank our guests for being here and sharing their experiences, which we know are not always pretty or easy.
Ms. Usherwood, my question is for you. I'm delighted to see you back at the committee. I remember what you said at your last appearance. Once again, I think you're very brave to appear before us like this. We all hope that your comments will add to our knowledge and highlight certain injustices and problems. Our recommendations will of course be aimed at remedying them.
When you came out as a transgender woman to your work colleagues, how was this initially perceived?
