Thank you, Madam Chair.
Well, Janine, you anticipated my question. I was listening to Bev, who I've talked to frequently, and her skepticism about yet another study. But we are here, and we're in the middle of it, and we are a committee reporting to Parliament that the government has to respond to. So we have some...I don't know whether it's “clout”, but certainly some standing.
I guess what I would ask each of you....
Let me back up. We were talking the other day about the report that we're going to put out. One of my colleagues from the NDP, Irene Mathyssen, who's not here today, said that it's going to be a very powerful report, we've heard so much. And we have heard so much.
So I would ask each of you to do a little bit of what Janine has said and give us your top three recommendations or top three priorities that we can put in. What would you see as the most important things--one, two, or three--that we can recommend as a committee? Because we will get attention.
If I can back up for a minute, Bev, while the process may be a cynical one, I do believe that the process raises awareness of the issue with legislators, and hopefully it has an impact.
I don't know who wants to go first.
