Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you very much for the information you've brought here. I have so many questions. I'll start with Ms. Townson.

You made mention of a report of yours that was funded by Status of Women Canada. I'm wondering how important it is to do that kind of research. What value does it have in terms of our ability as a Parliament to react to the needs of women in the community?
