Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I'm glad that you are, Madam Minister, and I do have other questions.

I'd like to ask you, for example, if you have read reports like the January 2003 report of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women; the May 2006 UN Economic and Social Council report; or the 2005 report of the Expert Panel on Accountability Mechanisms for Gender Equality. How about the “Pay Equity Task Force Final Report 2004”; Stats Canada's “Women in Canada”, 2005; and finally, Minister, your briefing book? Have you read these documents, Minister?
