Last week, I wanted to propose an amendment to have it read:
That the Committee recommend [...] a gender-based analysis [...] and that the committee invite departmental representatives and the Minister of State (Sport) to discuss funding programs and contributions to Canadian and international athletic competitions [...]
The idea is to have the minister provide a thorough explanation of how gender-based analysis works in his department.
The minister is willing to come and meet with us. I know that he would be very pleased to provide information to committee members about what Sport Canada is doing and what is being done by his own office in that regard. We often ask to meet with ministers. I think this is important and it would be an opportunity for us to hear his explanation.
I would like that to be considered and that is the amendment I am proposing.
