Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you for being in front of the committee answering our questions.
I have a few follow-ups on the comments from the minister and comments that were made earlier. When we look at the work that you do and the work that you continue to do, and the work that our government has done, I'm really proud of the work that we've done. When we look at the equality of the cabinet, the fifty-fifty ratio, and when we look at the full status, as the minister mentioned, of the department and minister responsible, not combined with another ministry.... We look at our minister going across the country, and in fact the world, promoting equality, as our Prime Minister has done, and there is also the murdered, missing, and indigenous women and girls inquiry. This is something significant that the previous government did not want to look at.
I'm a bit concerned about the line of questioning earlier. You also mentioned in one of your statements and your comments about your phones ringing off the hook from other departments or other ministers, which is the very positive engagement that the government has. From your perspective, I want to know how those changes, which have happened in a short period of time, 12 months, have made a difference in your work as you try to integrate all of government, ministers and departments, at the federal level?
