I cannot say what it is that we will do, but what if this committee were not to recommend that this go back out to public consultation? What if we were to say that the work had all been done at the Constitutional Convention and that we wanted to come to a definitive position? What if we were to recommend amendment? Does the National Women's Council think it should be amended to include an actionable socioeconomic right?
