Thank you.
I find this very interesting today. There are two members of our committee who are really saying what we've heard some other people say about women being unequal. I've always said, and I believe it is our mandate here in the Status of Women, that women are equal and that we need to work at the barriers. Under the Constitution, women are equal. I would never downgrade women and say they're unequal and we'll advocate to make them equal. Under that Constitution in Canada, we are all equal. That doesn't negate the fact that there are barriers that have to be addressed.
Ms. Wachniak, your group has worked very, very hard on this program. I understand from your presentation today that for a number of years a lot of volunteers have come forward.
You said you felt that Status of Women was now inclusive. Could you compare and contrast what you mean by that? We have changed the terms and conditions before. How did you feel that it was not inclusive before? What makes you feel that it now more readily suits what you need for your program on the ground?
