Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you, Madam Minister, for appearing before us, and for your time and your presentation.
Madam Minister, much concern has been expressed about the removal of the word “equality” from the terms and conditions of Status of Women Canada. I note the new terms seek to achieve the full participation of women in the economic, social, and cultural life of Canada.
Can you please explain how this new objective addresses their concerns about equality?
