We had a lot of outrage from both of our parties when the Status of Women regional offices were closed. Your critic at the time called the closures “reprehensible”. I asked last week in question period about whether your ministry agreed with the United Nations report that the 12 regional offices should be reopened.
You have given us information today about the re-establishment of the Vancouver and Toronto offices and the part-time offices. Do you consider that to be a fulfillment of the recommendation of the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women?
