Okay.
So the suggestion is that we would move on to the discussion on our work plan, that we would be moving forward on it. What we did put before you were several proposals for study. One is option one, which we had been talking about, the economic security of senior women, and a list of possible witnesses. The second option on the economic security issues would be to focus on federal programs and whether there are shortcomings in the current federal programs.
Again, given the fact that we probably have about 14 meetings in total between now and our Christmas break, if we want to be as diligent as possible, let's try to narrow in on what we want to accomplish between now and then.
There are two possibilities put before you as far as the economic security of senior women is concerned. One would be to focus on the larger picture, including income tax splitting and a variety of other issues that have been raised and that we've seen in our previous one; or to focus on the federal programs, whether our federal programs specifically are meeting the needs of women in Canada today. Those are two options on the economic security file. Perhaps we could narrow down which of those we think would be of most interest to the women of Canada, that we might have much success on. So we could look at those first.
Ms. Mathyssen.
