Thank you, Madam Chair.
If I have time, I will share my time with my colleague Madame Zarac.
Let me begin first by thanking you for coming and for a very thoughtful and comprehensive presentation. It's obvious that a lot of work went into it, and I appreciate it.
I have lots of questions, though. Madame Charette, right at the end you referenced gender-based analysis. You or your staff have undoubtedly been following the work of this committee and the various recommendations that have been coming forward.
Let me just back up. We're hearing much in the House right now that this was a program designed by the previous government in 1997, and the response was that times are different and we need to adapt. When you made recommendations, was a gender-based analysis done on the various options, like lowering the accessibility, like a common number of hours across the country? Did you do a thorough gender-based analysis on the various options that were available? Then I'll follow up.
