Thank you for the opportunity to comment and the chance to be here today.
I want to begin by echoing the comments Madam Beckton has made, that we look forward to working with Status of Women as we continue to promote gender-based analysis. We certainly agree with the Auditor General's recommendations in that regard.
Unfortunately, you asked me a question on the Pay Equity Act, and I have to admit that this is not my area of expertise at the Treasury Board Secretariat. I understand that the committee is continuing to study this act in some detail, so I know you'll have an opportunity to pose those questions and have those discussions with others from Treasury Board who can answer those questions in a more holistic way.
