I was going to say I'm delighted to be here myself.
Good morning to all of you.
It's a tremendous honour to be part of this committee. I'm filling in for Mrs. Gallant, who had some other priorities with scheduling, and so on. I'm delighted to replace her when I can.
I've looked at the workplan, and seeing how ambitious it is, I would agree with the other members who have spoken to this that there is a lot of important work in front of this committee.
My riding is in north Simcoe County in central Ontario. While we are often mischaracterized as a relatively affluent part of Ontario, there are many issues affecting women in my riding. We have two native communities, as well as a large Métis community, that are definitely affected by the matrimonial property issue. These are of critical importance to many citizens in my riding of North Simcoe, as well as across the country.
In looking at the workplan, I do have a couple of questions. I apologize because I've just got the briefing book and started into this. There were five reports tabled in the last Parliament, which I agree should come forward. It wasn't clear on the workplan when we might be doing that. If we're going to bring them back to table them, will we be more or less reviewing them and approving them for adoption, then moving them along? And have we accommodated some time to do that?
The other item that wasn't clear to me concerned the delegation that we'll hear on May 18. Was the Statistics Canada report tabled in the last Parliament? Was it one of the five, or was it separate?
