Thank you, Madam Chair.
In terms of looking at some of the other things that we did talk about, we have essentially six meetings coming up next week. One of those is going be, as discussed already, for the Monday, the half-hour, continuing the work plan and the presentation by Status of Women Canada. We also have the supplementary estimates that need to go in. We also discussed the reports.
On this issue around the court challenges program, we're all aware that this has been a matter of some political debate. I honestly believe we should get on with things that are going to be constructive. I understand the opposition's interest in bringing that sort of an issue in front of us. I think we're all aware of the controversy that the decisions taken have created. But in all honesty, we have some pressing business in front of us here.
I agree with Madame Demers' suggestion that some of those will be overlaid with the speakers we're going to have in the course of our study on gender budgeting. But we have the estimates, we have the review of the reports from the last session, we have gender budgeting in front of us, which will probably take us well into the new year, and I would suggest, for what it's worth, that we continue with that.
In our work plan discussions, I note, for example, we have other motions here from Madame Mathyssen and Madame Demers, and the government has put some in play, and then we also have this rather comprehensive document that we can work from in looking at other materials.
That's my opinion. I recognize that other members may have a different view of that, but I certainly am not supportive of putting a review of the court challenges program into our agenda.
