AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(3) I did not manage to write down everything the member asked. I am aware of the Women’s Report Card . I answered a question on another occasion about the Women’s Report Card being done every two years so that we can use the correct statistics and the report can be accurate when it is released. What was the question on denying something? Hon Norman Moore : Sitting on it. Hon SUE ELLERY : There was something before I am alleged to have sat on it. Hon Helen Morton : Does the minister deny that the report card will show some deterioration in the status of women under your government? Hon SUE ELLERY : I have not seen it. What was the next question? Hon Helen Morton : Has your department been told to sit on the updated report card data? Hon SUE ELLERY : Not by me, and I reject the suggestion that I might do such a thing. I make a point of making all information that comes before me available to everybody who is interested in it. Is there more to the question? Hon Helen Morton : Will you please indicate when the Women’s Report Card will be publicly available? The last one was provided more than two years ago. Hon SUE ELLERY : I am happy to provide that information when it comes across my desk. I have not seen anything that looks vaguely like a draft report.
