I referred earlier to the four priority demands we had passed on to the Minister, and now I would like to speak straight from the heart.
Our organization will be celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, and yet, it is in a climate of tremendous uncertainty that we approach our work in the coming years. At the same time, we are in great demand by our provincial government, which is encouraging to continue to play an active role in issues related to women's economic independence and equality.
We will no longer be able to do that, however, because our organization, our projects and our policy work no longer jibe with the Program's objectives. This is a very serious and deep concern for us. In Quebec, within the women's movement, our group is the only one that is involved in labour-related issues. So, it's very serious.
