Linda Lapointe Liberal
“October is Women's History Month. We have more women in Parliament than ever before, but there is still work to do. I want the minister to explain how the government is helping the next generation of women and girls.”
“Mr. Speaker, October 1 is the start of Women’s History Month. It is an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come. There was a time when women were not even allowed in the House of Commons. Today, we have the largest women’s caucus in Canadian history, with 71 female members of Parliament who are passionate advocates for their communities. We have come a long way, but there is still much work to be done. Can the minister explain how our government is building on this progress for the next generation of women and girls?”
