Thank you, Mr Speaker. I would like to
direct my question to the Minister of the Status of Women Council. This government, Mr. Speaker, spends over $250,000 on the Status of Women Council for advice on behalf of women. I would like to ask the Minister, since the court decision made on February 14 regarding Mr. Quassa, the Status of Women Council group has expressed outrage with regard to the decision; I would like to ask the Minister whether or not the Minister has sought advice from this group with regard to the decision that was made in the courts.
