Let me preface my remarks by saying that I don't pretend to know very much about the field of gender-based analysis and I hesitate to embark on a recommendation. Aside from the brief reading of some of the transcripts of the witnesses who appeared before you.... I think that whatever recommendation you make has to take into account your understanding of the field, which I don't have.
I would say that as you consider the issue, there is a range, if you like, that goes from power to independence. The role of the Commissioner of Official Languages is not one of power. I don't have the authority to fund organizations. I'm in the influence business.
