Thank you, Madam Chair.
I thank the government officials for being here.
I'm going to try to get a better understanding of what will happen in your department, with all of the challenges we have just talked about. I am thinking, in particular, about violence against women and femicides, as well as rising anti-feminism, masculinism and the challenges faced by senior women. Despite everything you have to do in the Department of Women and Gender Equality, the 2026‑27 departmental plan says that, as part of the Government of Canada's comprehensive expenditure review, as set out in the 2025 budget—we've heard about cuts departments are required to make—you anticipate an $8‑million cut in spending each year for 2026‑27, 2027‑28 and 2028‑29. It also says that you are finalizing your approach to achieve these savings in collaboration with the partners involved.
Could you tell the committee what measures are planned in order to achieve the annual savings of $8 million referred to in the departmental plan, as part of this comprehensive expenditure review?
