Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Perron, you alluded to the difference in the amount of time it takes for women and men to receive a response. For example, on December 31 last year, a woman had to wait two weeks longer than a man to get a reply. For francophones, it took three weeks more than for anglophones. So I think it's clear that the circumstances are less than ideal for a francophone woman.
The situation now is not quite as bad as it was in the past, when it could take 20 to 30 weeks. Do you have any suggestions to make about why it takes longer for francophones?
