Ottawa, November 07, 2025 -

The House of Commons Standing Committee on the Status of Women is undertaking a study on antifeminist ideology and its impacts on young Canadians’ development and mental health. The study follows a motion adopted by the committee on Monday, September 15, 2025.

The committee invites the public to contribute to the study by submitting written briefs.

Protecting the privacy of those who submit briefs remains a priority for the committee. If you wish to submit a written brief anonymously or do not want a brief to be made public, please inform the Clerk of the committee at FEWO@parl.gc.ca. Written briefs will be publicly available unless otherwise requested.

The deadline for the committee to receive written briefs from the public, in either official language, is at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on Friday, December 12, 2025. Briefs should not exceed two pages (approximately 1,000 words) and should be emailed to the Clerk of the committee at FEWO@parl.gc.ca or submitted online through the committee’s study webpage. For more information on how to prepare a submission, please consult the Guide for submitting briefs to House of Commons Committees.

The committee looks forward to hearing from Canadians on this important topic. The committee welcomes all Canadians to follow its work on its website, where additional information is provided on the committee’s meetings and testimony, live proceedings and membership.
