Thank you, Madam Chair, and thanks to both our guests.
It was interesting to listen to you, especially with the different perspectives—one was national, the other was more local. It's encouraging to see that there was a great deal of commitment to follow-up.
My first question is to Madam Janet Veitch. You referred to an all-equality agenda, for which a minister is responsible. Can you expand on that? What would be the difference between a minister for the status of women and what you call an all-equality agenda?
You also mentioned that a government equality office has been set up. Is that within the Prime Minister's office, the finance department, the Privy Council Office, or where? Could you give us the results on the expenditure of the treasury project and how it works?
The new law intrigued me very much. Could you give us the parameters of the new law and when it was put forward? Was there any opposition? How is it being received by the various departments? Is there sufficient political will to make sure it's adhered to?
