Status Report
Status Report was created to provide background on Status of Women Canada (SWC) and related issues. On September 25, 2006, the Canadian federal government announced a 5 million dollar (40%) cut to SWC's administrative budget. On October 3rd, they removed the word "equality" from SWC's mandate and changed the rules so that women's groups cannot use federal funding to do advocacy or lobbying. Status Report provides objective information about SWC, along with tools and motivation for people to lobby the federal Conservatives to revisit changes made to the agency's funding and objectives.
