Madam Deschamps, thank you for your question.
As far as developing the plan of action is concerned, we are in the process of defining the parameters we will implement. In other words, we are in the process of determining the themes and major principles. We want to consult with the greatest number of stakeholders, be they women's groups or academics, amongst others. For now, we are working on the process which will be followed.
We mention targeted investment, but I will not talk about anything more than the suggestions we might hear in the course of our consultations. For example, if we want to make sure that the program to fight violence against women is effective, we will have to invest in programs developed for women by women's groups to prevent this violence from happening. If we target the right sectors, we will make the strategic investments.
May I remind you that we have announced an additional contribution of $20 million over two years, which will help bring about many more things. In 2006, the program budget for Status of Women Canada generally did not exceed $10 million. But this year, that amount has been increased to $20 million. This will enable us to do more in areas which we have identified with women's groups.
