Madam Chair, you said that you had requested two dates from the minister. I think it's important that the minister come before this committee--it has been eight months now--before we review the estimates on November 10, so we have an opportunity to hear what her vision is. We know that at estimates it becomes less about vision and more about numbers. I think we specifically need to hear her vision as it relates to the committee and then the funding criteria for the program for women, which many women's groups across this country are extremely concerned about at the moment.
On September 21st, 2006. See this statement in context.
