I did not realize that it would be so important before I entered into politics. Now I have so many young women coming to me and saying they are inspired and they are glad that this is one more glass ceiling that has been broken.
Now I think I have the responsibility to make sure we have more women around the table, and young women. It's developing their leadership, engaging in their communities and having conversations with those I call “experienced” men to make sure we make some space around the decision table for them. This is why I created the youth council as well, to help as many of them as possible build their leadership, and have the courage to raise their hands and run for office or represent their sector and their region.
