In 2011, in Nova Scotia, the Status of Women for Nova Scotia held a campaign school. There were about 67 to 70 women. Out of that school, out of that graduating class over a weekend where we learned strategies about campaigns, politics, and everything you need to know about politics, came a cabinet minister, an NDP MLA, a mayor of Yarmouth, and two other women who weren't successful. It's imperative that governments across the country, provincially in scope, do campaign schools and bring in completely non-partisan speakers and tell it like it is.
We had one in Nova Scotia two weeks ago. There were 160 women from all walks of life there, who will eventually put their name on a ballot or will eventually support women who will do that. That networking is absolutely crucial. The mentoring is second to none. I can't emphasize that enough.
