Thank you, Madam Chair.
Minister, I hope you will come back, because there are many questions that we have to ask you.
I have a couple of quick questions.
I lost count of the number of times you used the word “real” in your presentation. I certainly hope it's not code for anything else that is happening here.
Could you tell me this, please? In the response to the standing committee, why did you indicate that you were committed to the full participation of women in the economic, social, and political life of Canadian society, yet there is nothing in the criteria on political life?
