Thank you, Madam Chair.

Minister, thank you for appearing before us today.

I want to start off by saying that my understanding through my involvement for all these years is that the Status of Women Canada was established and exists for the purpose of improving women's equality. Given that your government has removed the word “equality” from its mandate, what are you doing personally to make sure that equality is put back into the mandate so that we can refocus this department?
