Good morning. Thank you for being here.
Mr. Oberle, you talked about your analysis of the various categories of refugee claimants in Canada. In the documents provided to us by our researchers, I see that the largest group, after skilled workers, is live-in caregivers; the largest number of women coming to work in Canada fall into that category. You told us that your analysis placed particular focus on that aspect. I imagine that you made recommendations to the department on the basis of your analyses.
Have all of those recommendations been implemented? Was the work that you do taken into account? If not, this work does not lead to significant change.
I would also like to know how the inter-departmental committee that you created identifies its priorities. You told us that the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs was represented on the committee. And yet, shelters for aboriginal women are having a great deal of difficulty.
I would also like to know, Mr. Oberle, how your employees benefit from what you are defending. Do you have pay equity?
