Thank you, Madam Chair.
I was quite taken by what you said, Ms. Biguzs, in regard to the need to have voices outside of government. Yes, we need those internally working, but there remains that all-important external voice. By that voice challenging, I assume what's meant is those people with the ability to do the research, to do the advocacy, to do the lobbying. Of course we've lost that with the disappearance or at least the underfunding of NAWL and the loss of CRIAW. I guess only FAFIA remains in terms of that external voice with the strength to influence government.
With that in mind, I was wondering if PCO and Treasury have any further plans to implement the recommendations from the committee's 2005 “Gender-Based Analysis: Building Blocks for Success”. Maybe that is another kind of kick in the pants to government to stay the course and make sure that we do have the GBA we need.
