Thank you.

We heard earlier from Statistics Canada officials who said that 18% of women in Quebec are interested in entering politics, the highest rate among all the provinces. I wonder why the percentage is the highest in Quebec. What are your thoughts? Are there different programs in Quebec than in the other provinces? Why are women more interested in entering politics in Quebec than elsewhere?
