We will give you another 30 seconds, if you don't mind. I'm going to flip it over to the CPC to ask one question, then that will end the day.

National Board Member, Equal Voice
I will answer once—parity. The fact that we have parity in government around the cabinet table gives you role models for people to aspire to.

I know you could help, Eva.
I'm going to help here. This has been a fantastic panel. I've listened to all three of you, thinking, “That's me, especially with Bernadette. That's me. That's me. That's me.” I would really like to thank you for coming today.
My only question is, when are we going to do another Daughters of the Vote? That is the next question.
It's awesome to have Michaela.
I'm that hoping Delany Leitch is out there in the world listening to this. I had Delany as one of my students and daughters. I'd call her my daughter, and people would look at me. She was my Daughter of the Vote. When are we planning to do that again? What's the plan on that?

Executive Director, Equal Voice
We are actively working to secure commitments for three Daughters of the Vote with both our private and public sector partners, so that, in fact, we would do that in 2020 and 2021, and really try to institute it as a major flagship program for Equal Voice. We believe there are 338 amazing, politically diverse, interesting women who are ready to take the challenge each and every year—of all ages.

Of all ages, yes. Can you make sure there's a group for over 40?

I would really like to thank you. This has been an excellent panel. We've had two excellent panels today. We're learning lots.
I'm just going to remind you that today is Thursday and that we're going to be reconvening on Tuesday, of course. We're going to have the Samara Group with Jane Hilderman, Dr. Louise Carbert, Dr. Jeanette Ash, Dr. Silvia Bashevkin, Dr. William Cross, Dr. Sarah Childs, Dr. Rosie Campbell, and Dr. Melanee Thomas next week.
The clerk will be sending that out. I'm sorry. I did not realize that not everybody had the list. I had the list and just did not think anything further of it. Everyone will receive the witness list so you can see how it breaks down. I believe we have some awesome stuff happening.
Go ahead, Anne.

Thank you for distributing the list.
Can we still make suggestions, or is the list already complete for the various upcoming meetings?
5:25 p.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Karen Vecchio
In a case like that, the list has been completed. All of the things were brought in. If there is an issue where one person put forward by the NDP cannot come, we'll give you an opportunity to suggest someone else.
Thank you very much, everybody.
Today's meeting is adjourned.
