Thank you, Madam Chair.
Madam Minister, thank you for being with us. I also thank the officials from your department.
You probably know that we are currently focusing on a study of the economic leadership and prosperity of Canadian women, as well as their successes and the challenges they face.
You referred to the 2012 Economic Action Plan and women who occupy important positions in enterprises. That plan mentioned the creation of a working group to increase the number of women on the boards of directors of companies.
During our previous meetings, we welcomed two representatives from Status of Women Canada. We asked them what the conclusions of that working group were and if the objective had been attained. Unfortunately, they were unable to answer us. I would like to put the same question to you, Minister.
Can you share with us the results obtained by the working group set up in 2012? Also, can you tell us what funds were allocated to it?
