Thank you, Madam Chair.
I have to say, in all the things I've heard this morning, and of course in other meetings, the sad part for me is that none of it surprises me. I know, and we know, what has been happening, which is why I support the charter challenge. The other thing is that it's devastating to hear the extent to which things are still not, for women, further than they ought to be and need to be.
That said, all of what was said by our guests who are on speakerphone and the ones who are here in the room is riveting, and I think a lot of this stuff will find its way into good recommendations.
I want to ask a couple of specific things, because I don't need to be convinced about all the needs. In all the things that have been said here, I agree.
To Captain Purdy, you said something earlier that I want to be clear about. The lawyers said that because you were on your back, you weren't able to say no; therefore, it had to be a yes. Am I understanding it right?
