Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being with us today to respond to our questions.
I have a couple of brief questions for you, but I would like to begin by addressing what I consider the prerequisites for holding a position where you are responsible for the Status of Women.
Your spokesperson, Ms. Véronique Bruneau, said the following in La Presse: “From now on, we want to support actions, not words”.
I'm assuming that your spokesperson represents you. Having said that, do you believe that advocacy, as well as the possibility for women to influence the federal, provincial or municipal governments, is nothing more than words, as opposed to actions?
