I will not reread it, because it seems your colleagues are reading it on the website as we speak.
Our government supports projects that will make a difference for the women of Canada. We have taken the necessary steps to meet the major challenges, which are economic insecurity, a lack of training and violence against women. Projects funded under the Women's Program and increased budgets allocated to that end will affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of women and girls in Canada. I think we have every reason to be very proud of that.
I would just like to point out that the word “equality” and the concept behind it have always been clearly available on Status of Women Canada's website. That being the case, I made the decision to update the mandate, in order to express and enhance that concept, which is very important to me.
