So we're not putting this third one in? The last I heard we were going to submit a list of witnesses. We're not doing that now?

No, there was disagreement. I was just making a suggestion.
Gender budgeting, Madame Boucher, will be in terms of timeframe.

The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi
We will not be able to do too many things. As soon as we get from the analyst the report, an overview, a study--the analysts keep telling me don't give an overview--then we will be able to decide how to proceed. And gender-based budgeting would be our focus because we won't have much time before December.
A suggestion has been given to me that we can hold an information session on gender-based budgeting and have Status of Women Canada come.

The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi
Yes, develop a plan, and then we can move forward.
Yes, Mr. Stanton.

Madam Chair, since it would appear there's committee consensus that we get into gender budgeting as our first priority and we're looking at a work plan, I think the other topics that had been discussed at least should be put in some priority. Now, maybe we need to resume that discussion at our next meeting, but I don't think we're done with this topic, is what I'd like to say. I just don't want to do a slam dunk.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi
That is why I was putting number one and number two. I thought we could continue the discussion, but at the moment we are not. Gender-based budgeting, and at the next meeting we will prioritize the rest of the topics and move forward.

Then I presume once we've got that in place we will suggest witnesses we would like to see come forward.

Everything is work in progress.
Please be back by 3:30 on Wednesday.
Thank you.
The meeting is adjourned.
