Good morning, everyone. I really don't know quite what to say, to be perfectly frank. I don't dare say exactly what I am thinking. I am usually very direct, but I am going to be careful.
I would like to put a certain number of things in perspective. I am the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister responsible for the Status of Women. Despite what you may think, I meet with officials at Status of Women Canada once a month. I make it my duty to go and sit down with them for two hours once a month, and we get together every week to deal with other issues.
Having said that, for my own personal benefit, I would like to have your analysis, Ms. Lahey. You did an analysis of the 2008 Budget. I would like to have the one for the 2005 budget, the last budget tabled by the former government. I would like the same analysis, please.
Are you apolitical? At the beginning, I asked for apolitical studies. Whether it is me, whether it is them, or whoever is conducting these studies, we want gender budgeting to have an apolitical foundation in order to serve the interests of all women. However, having heard your comments this morning, I do not believe you are apolitical and, personally, that bothers me.
