Nishnawbe Aski Nation Women's Council member, Thunder Bay Indian Friendship Centre
I lost my train of thought, but I'm really thankful to be here today and honoured to have met this group. I have lots of things I can talk about, but I know we keep hearing about “minutes” here.
Thank you for listening to us.

I would like to say meegwetch and thank you very much. We're truly grateful for a very good and informed dialogue. I hope, as Ms. Simson has indicated, that we can continue that dialogue. So again, meegwetch.

Can you tell us what is going to happen with your report, and some of the timing and that sort of thing, and where it goes?

The Vice-Chair NDP Irene Mathyssen
When we're finished all of our hearings, then our dear analysts will put together a draft report. The committee will review that report; then we will present it to the House of Commons and await a response from the government. That usually takes about 30 to 45 days. The report will be available on the website for the status of women committee. If there's difficulty with regard to accessing the website, please let us know, and we'll make every effort to make sure that you have that report.

Advisor, Robinson Superior Treaty Women's Council
So it will be quite a long time.

It probably won't be terribly long--probably by March 1. It will be before the summer. We want it to be a very good report. We are absolutely determined that this be a full and very clear and hard-hitting report. We want to deliver the message that you have delivered to us.
