Thank you, Madam Chair.
I too would like to welcome you here. Thank you for adding to our knowledge of the issue under study by the Status of Women Committee.
You spoke about a parliamentary panel, Mr. Fraser, which was established to review your budget submissions and the way in which you perform your mandate. Is it not dangerous to be supervised by a panel composed of parliamentarians? Could this panel, at the request of various governments, change your mandate or limit the authority you already have?
