Thank you, Madam Chair.
I just wanted to ask a question; I didn't want to speak to the motion that I had put forward at this point. Apparently there were some calls made by the clerk to the department, the Status of Women department, and to different ministries, different minister's offices, to see if they would appear. Was that on your behalf that these calls were made? When I was questioned about it, it was stated that it was on behalf of the committee, but we definitely, as a committee, had not discussed anything about this yet. Would that have been on your behalf, Madam Chair?
