Ms. Savoie, Mr. Sansfaçon, Madam Lapointe, thank you very much for having taken part in this meeting and for having answered our questions.
I would now like the attention of all the members of the committee, as we will be voting on items 1 and 5 under the heading “Office of the Co-ordinator, Status of Women”, and there is something important that must be understood about those items. Since the fiscal year begins April 1 and the budget is voted on in the month of June, there are always provisional votes that are adopted so that the government machine can function. That is why following the meeting we just held, we are going to vote on vote number 1 under the heading “Office of the Co-ordinator, Status of Women”, minus the amount granted in Interim Supply.
OFFICE OF THE CO-ORDINATOR, STATUS OF WOMEN
Vote 1 — Operating expenditures and the payment to each member of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada who is a Minister without Portfolio or a Minister of State........... $9,370,497
