I have a question for you, Madam Savoie.
We hear from time to time some frustration with trying to access government employment programs, the most recent example being the Canada job grant. I heard an answer from Ms. Scott earlier that would contest what I'm about to put to you, but I don't want to get into a debate about that. I want to elevate it to the policy development level.
One of the things we've heard is there was a lack of flexibility within the Canada job grant program to accommodate the fact that it's still women who do the majority of the caregiving. That limited the opportunity for some women to participate in that particular program. My question for you is not to get into a debate about that, because I suspect if I left it at that level we probably would.
Status of Women Canada, could you explain to me the role you have when these programs are being developed in terms of thinking through these flexibility and access issues that are more predominant among women? That's my question for you. Where is Status of Women in the policy development process as it pertains to addressing the barriers that we're studying?
