Kim Campbell was prime minister, as you said, in 1993. I think our current Prime Minister forgot to mention her one time when he was talking about how people have done so well.
I, Rona Ambrose, and you mentioned others, you as a diplomat—I'm pretty impressed by that. Why do they forget to mention it or why don't we mention it more, all of us as women regardless of party? We should, because it wasn't just the quota system where we're going to put you here. It wasn't you're attractive or you're not too heavy—I've struggled with weight, as well, over the years—or your earrings.... It's ridiculous, and all of us know those things. Prove them wrong. As we do that, we want competent people. I don't want somebody as a ditz to be up there and then have to defend her because she's a woman. Frankly, I really don't.
The capable people, all of whom have done a great job over the years regardless of party.... Alexa McDonough was there before Thomas Mulcair. I sat in the House with her. There's Audrey McLaughlin. I was there long ago when Audrey was there. These are capable women who did a good job in leadership. We need to celebrate them all regardless of party.
