Status of Women Committee on March 10th, 2016

[The Chair, Conservative, Marilyn Gladu]

Is it open to everyone? I think so.

Ms. Vandenbeld.

[Anita Vandenbeld, Liberal, Ottawa West—Nepean, ON]

It sounds like the chair may be encouraging us to put a motion to have the chair mail the link to GBA+ to all members of Parliament.

[The Chair, Conservative, Marilyn Gladu]

Is there a motion?

[Anita Vandenbeld, Liberal, Ottawa West—Nepean, ON]

There is such a motion.

[The Chair, Conservative, Marilyn Gladu]

Excellent. Is there any discussion on that motion?

The motion is that the chair will send a link to all parliamentarians to encourage them to complete the gender-based analysis.

Ms. Malcolmson.

[Sheila Malcolmson, NDP, Nanaimo—Ladysmith, BC]

Can I speak to that? I appreciate the spirit of it, but we started off by saying that none of us has actually taken the test ourselves, so I think it might be a little premature.

[The Chair, Conservative, Marilyn Gladu]

Would you like to table that motion for a future meeting?

[Anita Vandenbeld, Liberal, Ottawa West—Nepean, ON]

I will table the motion.

[Sheila Malcolmson, NDP, Nanaimo—Ladysmith, BC]

Perfect. Very good, and we'll vote in favour next time.

[The Chair, Conservative, Marilyn Gladu]

Is there any other committee business that we want to discuss at this time?

Seeing none, I declare this meeting adjourned.
