Thank you for your question.
I will let Ms. Beckton answer your question with respect to the booklet and the events of June 2007 that you just referred to, because I am unaware of what may have happened at that time.
There is no doubt that our government announced additional funding in the last 2007 budget, with a view to meeting specific goals and achieving concrete results for women. Thanks to that funding, we have achieved the highest level of funding ever allocated for Status of Women Canada's programming. Those funds will certainly make it possible to fund a larger number of groups and achieve our goals more quickly—something that we all hope for.
I would remind you, once again, that the mandate of Status of Women Canada's Women's Program has been updated. The word “equality” is certainly part of that mandate, which is to advance the equality of women across Canada through the improvement of their economic and social conditions and their participation in democratic life.
Ms. Beckton, would you like to address the question regarding the Commonwealth?
