I'm not opposed to the principle, but I think the notice period is short. Everyone knows that the minister has a full schedule. I'm only the Parliamentary Secretary for the Status of Women, and my schedule is already quite full. I imagine it's even worse for ministers. Don't forget either that this week is the Week against Violence Against Women . The minister is meeting a large number of women's groups on the occasion.
On November 26th, 2009. See this statement in context.
