I'm sorry, I do want to ask questions of other witnesses, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you, because advocacy, research, and lobbying are precisely what Status of Women cut in budget 2006. I'm glad you support it and I hope you will lobby this government to put it back.
I want to go on. We had a witness, Kathleen Lahey, who is a professor of economics from Queen's University, and she talked about the infrastructure spending and what is happening in terms of this current government investing. According to her statistics, there was no gender equity in that funding. All these millions and billions of dollars are going to support mainly male-dominated jobs like construction and trades, and women will not benefit because the social infrastructure, the child care, the expanded affordable housing, and employment insurance have not been funded.
I heard this morning on the news that at the G20 there's going to be a discussion about a shift. Instead of stimulus funding, there's going to be a discussion about changing our social structures. I would hope that includes changing the social structures we've been talking about. I'm wondering if any of you, or all of you, would like to comment on the feminization of the lack of stimulus and that need for structural change.
