Thank you, Mr. Chairperson. I'd like to thank all the presenters for an excellent panel.
I'd like to begin with Gail Beck. I found this a wonderful contribution to our deliberations and very timely. You've identified clearly the need for investment in areas to ensure women achieve their fullest potential and have identified the need for gender analysis at all times, at a very time when in both those areas the present government seems to be basically abdicating complete responsibility.
In fact, as we speak, there are national women's organizations that are closing their doors because this government has refused to ensure proper stable funding for some capacity among the women's movement.
I wonder whether you have anything to add to your presentation that would help the government realize the importance of ensuring that you have a national organization to empower women to help themselves.
