Mr. Speaker, there has been some response to the report, I think the Status of Women may have been one group which responded and were generally in support of the recommendations. As I indicated to the House in a Minister's statement earlier, the report contains 256 recommendations but very little substantiation for the recommendations themselves in large part because I think the contractor originally started to put together the research and materials necessary to help the working group make some recommendations based on specific research. What has happened is there are general recommendations made in this report but the research itself is a huge appendix on which the recommendations are based but is not anywhere near finished. The Department of Social Services and the Department of Justice have, over the last few months, tried to substantiate the basis for the recommendations which were made in the report. That is one of the reasons there is no definitive response to the extensive recommendations at this time.
