Thank you, Madam Chair.
I think that Ms. Hoeppner should apologize for being so condescending toward Canadian women. I believe that even in 2009, it is an honourable thing for a woman to stay home and look after children and bake apple pies.
Ms. Guergis, I find it unfortunate that a minister would not set an example and that instead of uniting, she seeks to divide. This Committee very much needed a meeting of minds, today, and you did not do what you ought to have done. There is a difference. Like my fellow Committee members, you seem to confuse partisanship and fundamental values. There is a big difference. People can have different fundamental values and still work together without being partisan.
Since my time is limited, I will ask my question. You spoke earlier about $2.4 million that has not been spent. Yet you say you have 69% more initiatives than in past years. Why have you not spent that money?
