Thank you for your question.
Our government pledged to promote women's equality, as well as their full participation in the economic, social and cultural life of this country. Among other things, we have introduced the Universal Child Care Benefit. We have also increased the pension income tax credit and amended the Guaranteed Income Supplement, allowing some women, including older women, to receive more money. We have also undertaken specific initiatives aimed at women entrepreneurs. As well, we have taken steps related to crime prevention, the justice system and security with a view, in particular, to protecting children from sexual exploitation.
