Mr. Speaker, Claims · 141 wordsthis week we are celebrating Gender Equality Week.¹ Today, 71 women sit as members of the Liberal caucus—the largest women’s caucus in the history of Canada’s Parliament—where they exercise strong leadership.² Women also play a crucial role in our cultural sector, an area that means a great deal to me. They represent 54% of Canada’s artists.³ That number, however, conceals a glass ceiling affecting artistic leadership: 23% of male artists hold executive and production positions, compared to only 12% of female artists.⁴ I want to take this opportunity to call attention to the strong female leadership that is alive and well in the cultural sector of my riding, Thérèse-De Blainville. Recently, Claudia Dupont took over from Chantal Lamoureux as Odyscène’s executive and artistic director, backed by a predominantly female team that actively contributes to showcasing our culture on a daily basis.⁵ Positioning · 7 wordsThey are a great example to follow.Positioning Promise · 17 wordsThis week, let us celebrate them as we continue to work toward achieving gender equality in Canada.Vague promise
