Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to ask questions of all three panellists. I thank you for your expert testimony.
I want to begin with Lucille Harper. You talked about the realities that women in Antigonish face. It's seems to me that rural women face a different reality than do urban women, and part of that is that we tend to base services on population as opposed to needs. Can you explain that? Also, tell me what the impact of closing those regional offices will have on the work you do.
