We first met with the minister on October 3. Ten organizations were invited. Our organization of 10,000 women had to be represented by somebody who was also representing the National Council of Women—so two self-funded groups. At that meeting, the minister said that women already have equality. We beg to differ.
Since then, we have not really had contact with her. I've had one letter in response to a letter I wrote.
As far as the Prime Minister is concerned, my response from him was deleted without being read, and the hard copy version has received no acknowledgement whatsoever—and that was on the court challenges program.
Our organization is made up of almost 10,000 volunteers. We've been working for so long; we're upset about all the cuts—not just those about equality, but there are so many cuts affecting the equality of women that it's really quite astonishing. The amount of advocacy that our organization has had to do this fall has been absolutely unprecedented.
