Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Welcome, all of you, today. This is great.
I have to say I feel as if I've come full circle, to some degree. We started out looking down this road some time ago and talked to a lot of different departments, talked to the Department of Finance, talked to different people, then we had experts come in, and here we are. And it's amazing, because some of the information we got from some of the officials, especially the Department of Finance, is that they don't have enough data. And of course our experts told us we had lots of data, and they said to look at Stats Canada. Thank you for coming. You've got tons of information. Obviously, Status of Women Canada has commissioned you to do some good research and so have other people. And then I hear from Madam Regehr, who has a wealth of information of how to pull it all together, what kinds of indicators to look for, what kinds of things to do, and so on.
To Stats Canada, have you been involved in training and working with anyone at the Department of Finance so they can pull together a good and proper gender budgeting analysis pre- or post-budget in the last, I don't know...ever? I'm not trying to be facetious, but since you have such a wealth of information, I'd like to know. That's my first question.
