Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, ladies, thank you, Ms. Budlender for joining us today.
Ms. Dwyer-Renaud, for how many years have you been providing Finance Department staff with information and training.
Ms. Peckford, you have been analyzing budgets for ten years already. Can you be sure that the information you provide is well understood and used appropriately? Can you be sure that your students are not dunces? There were no changes in previous years' budgets in terms of measures taken to advance the equality of men and women or to improve living conditions for women. Some measures, such as the $100 per child, were introduced. This is a useful measure for some, but it is completely useless for most of the population.
I do not understand how you can give them information and they do not use it properly or even at all. Do you make recommendations after these analyses? Are you in a position to tell us if they listen to these recommendations and subsequently implement them?
