Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon, everyone. I'd like to welcome everyone in attendance today.
I should explain that Mr. Thériault is the regular member of our committee who represents the Bloc québecois. However, I'm his replacement for this tour, because we only have one seat, which we share. He spoke during the preceding period, and it's my turn this time. I will have to speak quickly, to make up for lost time.
Ms. Robertson, Ms. Roberge, thank you for coming to speak to us today.
My first question is for you, Ms. Roberge.
You spoke about proportionality, and the importance of additional mechanisms to promote the election of women to Parliament. You also spoke about financial measures such as reimbursement rules, and other matters. The share of public funding that went to supporting political parties has been abolished. Do you think it would be a good idea to restore that funding?
