Thank you.
I want to follow up. I've been looking at the estimates from 2005-06 through to 2008-09, and one of the program activities at Status of Women Canada is the development of strategic policy advice and partnerships, which replaced the promotion of equitable public policy. I'm wondering why SWC no longer seeks to influence the development of government policies. I say that, because if you look at the estimates from 2005-06, there was just under $8 million devoted to that, and by the time we get to 2007-08 we're looking at less than $2 million.
So, basically, it would seem to me there is no longer this effort to influence the policies of government and the research programs and services that take into account the diversity of women's perspectives and reality.
I'll let you answer that, and I will have some more questions in that vein.
