I can reassure you that there is no abandonment of anything. In fact, I'm very committed to the issue of gender equality. I consider myself to be an advocate of women's rights. I always have been and will continue to be.
If I do talk about equality between men and women it is sometimes because I'm trying to reach out to women, and to the men in our community in particular, to get more involved in the issue of gender equality. I think that sometimes just mentioning the words “men” and “man” and including them in some of the projects we're doing is helpful.
Gender equality continues to be of paramount importance, obviously, in all of the work we do at Status of Women Canada and in my personal professional life. I hope that reassures you.
