Mr. Chairman, just for the record, if people have been following along in the Committee Report there was a motion titled Community Transfer Initiatives that we will not be proceeding with at this time, as it has already be dealt with in previous Committee Motion No. 59, which has the effect of recommending that M.A.C.A. take the lead role in community transfer initiatives in the Nunavut region.
I will proceed directly to our concerns about women's directorate funding reductions. Mr. Chairman, the committee was concerned, in spite of the government stating that they intended to enhance the priority or visibility of this directorate, about how that was possible given that they were cutting the funding by $83,000 or 14 percent over last year, and also eliminating two person years. We are not convinced that the government's announcement of how they are enhancing the visibility of this position, can actually be the case.
