Status of Women committee  Yes.

Status of Women committee  Right. Ms. Beaudin-Carver, another experience I had was that I sat as the council representative on our LGBTQ subcommittee. That was a real eye-opener for me as well. I think a lot of us need to have a fuller understanding of the issues that you're talking about. I found out th

Status of Women committee  The fact that you're here today is a significant step forward.

Status of Women committee  Thanks very much. The reference was made to ministries being in silos, and that's true, but also levels of government are in silos. I spoke at an earlier meeting about city-owned housing. My first experience as a city councillor was canvassing in city-owned housing, looking th

Status of Women committee  I'll try to. Thank you. I'm glad you mentioned, Ms. Martin, your final point. Mr. Richter brought up a similar one. We men should go out and meet with women and visit shelters. I was a downtown city councillor in Hamilton. Mr. Serré, my colleague, was also a councillor, and we d

The whole country has transitioned in the way we think and the way we approach things. Those people in those big office buildings are doing a lot of the work. We're talki

Status of Women committee  Thank you very much. During the war, in the neighbourhood where I grew up, a lot of kids lived in a wartime house. Between 1941 and 1947, some 46,000 wartime houses were built. Subsequently, CMHC inherited the whole notion. Why don't we just get the old wartime housing booklet o

Status of Women committee  Perhaps I could ask about the diverse community. The face of Canada seems to be changing somewhat. Is there any reflection in terms of newcomers or the families of recent immigrants showing more interest in politics? I have to say that in my own world, there seems to be a large g

Status of Women committee  Right. Those are my questions. Thank you very much.

Status of Women committee  Thanks for being here. I ran in four elections and won them all. In three of them my wife, a retired school teacher, was the campaign organizer. Most of my political success came as a result of the hard work of retired school teachers. After the first term in municipal office a

Status of Women committee  How much of your observation would be based on the decorum the public sees in terms of the way politicians behave?
