Good afternoon, ladies. Thank you for being here. It is very important to us that you accepted our invitation to talk to us about the difficulties encountered as a result of the budget cutbacks to the Women's Program.
I was just appalled to see that the government still refuses to recognize that systemic discrimination still exists. The government refuses to recognize that there are rights to defend and battles that are still to be waged by women. We must do our utmost to advance the cause. To my mind, the cause is not obsolete and not over. Isn't it difficult to convince women in our own environments that these causes are still worth fighting, when our own governments do not believe in them?
The question is for all three panellists.
