Thank you, Madam Chair.
I thank all of you for taking the time to be with us today. We realize you have a busy schedule, so it is much appreciated.
I understand that there has been an effort to increase the ability for volunteer organizations to participate in these calls by expanding the terms and conditions to allow groups that were before not formally eligible for funding. They are now able to apply for funding through Status of Women Canada's calls for proposals.
I'm wondering if Suzanne Clément could perhaps describe some of the changes that were made to make this available, and perhaps give us an example of a type of group that can now apply that before was not able to, and the new terms and conditions making what had been previously ineligible for funding now eligible.
