Women are entrepreneurs. I've already spoken to some of the issues there. Trade liberalization provides opportunities to export, but can be a double-edged sword for families.
My conclusion is that FTA negotiations can lead to progressive policies being implemented in the broader government policy framework.
Canada-wide, low cost child care, with our lead in Quebec, has greatly improved the situation for women and their families. Quebec is now the world leader in employed women who are mothers with children under the age of three.
Thank you very much.
