Director, Canadian Women's Community Economic Development Council

We encourage the federal government to reinvest funds, to maintain, and to grow. That means more essential infrastructure to serve all of its citizens.

Ongoing support of the Status of Women Canada is a sound investment that will have significant, positive socio-economic consequences for all Canadians.

I call on all of you present at this committee who believe in the essential right to equality for all Canadians to take more action to reinstate and improve funding for women's groups and the Status of Women.

Thank you.
