Thank you.
Let me just take a moment to talk about getting materials to the committee. MATCH is no longer in existence so I'm not sure how we could do that, except maybe through somebody submitting an ATIP request. Because there is no office, there are no materials; the office is shut down.
In 2009 I hadn't been at MATCH long. I started in the spring of 2009. Shortly after I arrived, our project officers noted that CIDA had stated that within all written documentation it had to be “equality between women and men”; the words “gender equality” weren't to appear in any proposal. That was in 2009, around the late spring or early summer.
As well, in this other concept paper that we put forth, it wasn't that women couldn't submit proposals, but that within the proposal women couldn't be the drivers, just to make that distinction. I don't know whether that makes a distinction for you.
