Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to thank all the witnesses. It's been very interesting listening to what has transpired.
I'd like to quickly ask all of you if you were alarmed or in any way tentative.... Was that a recent event? Or was it the fact that three to four years ago the regional offices basically were shut down for Status of Women and then we saw a new mandate change in terms of the actual ministry? Did that set off alarm bells back then, before your funding was actually cut?
