Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you all for your testimony.
In the course of this study, we have met many women who are entrepreneurs and who have achieved success. But, unfortunately, they are exceptions.
As the witness from British Columbia said, we are preaching to the choir. But there are a lot of women who are not entrepreneurs, who do not even have jobs. My impression is that, by providing subsidies, the government would push some organizations to work more according to its own priorities than according to the priorities of women.
Ms. Nalayeh spoke about immigrant women having access to workshops. There is also the question of access to housing. When it comes to getting women out of poverty, we see nothing concrete. It remains an open issue.
Ms. Chouinard, thank you for being here. Can you tell me what the federal government could do for organizations like yours as they try to meet women's basic needs first?
