Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd also like to thank each of the witnesses for their opening remarks.
I have a few questions for Ms. Stanovich about the representation of women on the National Council for Reconciliation. It was touched on briefly earlier in this meeting, but in fact we haven't heard much about the lack of women, particularly from a national organization like the Native Women's Association of Canada. I took note of it, especially since we know, Mr. Chair, that women make up half the population. It's all the more surprising since, as Ms. Stanovich said, these are predominantly matriarchal societies. I understood that Ms. Stanovich was saying that there had to be a place for women.
I would like to know if she thinks an organization representing women would consider that there could be a gender‑based analysis in the actions that will be taken by the council.
