Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you very much for being here. I have a number of questions.
I want to start with the department. One of the concerns I've heard with regard to the department is that core funding for women's organizations has disappeared and now it's project-by-project kind of funding, which means that groups scramble to meet the criteria and do the project and are then left without the kind of funding they need to do research or advocacy.
Are you hearing this? Have you considered the impact on women's organizations that this change has created?
