Thank you.
I put this motion forward, Madam Chair, simply because this is the kind of thing we had talked about in this committee. I wanted to underline the kind of direction that we were going in:
Pursuant to the Standing Order 108(2), that the Standing Committee on the Status of Women recommend that the government orient its 2007 spending for Status of Women Canada and the various other Canadian government agencies to address the crucial and pressing issue of violence towards women and girls; support the full participation of women in Canadian society; address the challenges women face by promoting projects that improve the situation of women in key areas such as women's economic status; and that the adoption of this motion be reported to the House forthwith.
I ask for the support of all members in this motion. Thank you.
