Order, please.
We have with us Professor Kathleen Lahey, Armine Yalnizyan, and Nancy Peckford.
The deputy minister was supposed to come today, but since the deputy minister couldn't make it, the deputy minister will be coming on April 15. That's for sure.
We thought we would have the three panellists help us through this. We gave them the 2006 and 2007 budget analyses, and I know Armine has prepared a 2008 analysis that has been distributed to the committee.
We've heard from the PCO, the Treasury Board, Status of Women, and the gender experts at Finance, but we are still very confused, so we have asked them to help us through the process. Perhaps it's because of the way we are questioning that we are not getting the answers we need.
So without further ado, I would like to give the floor to Professor Lahey. Are you going first, or are you waiting for your tables?
