As I said, there are fundamental rights that we all share, believe in. We are part of a democratic country; we have the Charter of Rights, which says everyone is equal. And it's those words, “to defend one's rights”.... I think each one of us does that. We make sure we can stand up for ourselves. Those of us who maybe have had more opportunity have to stand up in each of our roles separately, and each of us has differing levels of ability to do that.
I think what we want to make sure is that women across this country—whether it's speaking on behalf of their children at a school board meeting or going to their volunteer organization and speaking up, or voting as a citizen.... What I think we're talking about is that if we empower more women in all different ways—economically in their ability to have good jobs, and in their ability to participate more in their communities and within their professions—that is how we're going to ensure that we can help each other. It's not just speaking about their rights and telling them they have rights.
