If I may intercede, you need to establish a non-partisan coalition for women and establish guidelines by which all parties abide. You don't need an established guideline at the municipal level and one at the provincial level in order to establish guidelines when we are discussing women's rights, for example. We all agree that rape is wrong. We all agree that we need more women to be elected in the Parliament of Canada. We all agree that there is a problem currently and we don't know how to deal with it, because there are so many issues that we can institutionalize the issues rather than the solutions.
What we need to do is to put our partisanship and our ideological guidelines aside and make women a priority. If we are incapable of doing that, we're not going to succeed. This is not going to happen.
I have friends from all political parties, including separatists in Quebec, but at the end of the day, we are all women. We all have the same goal. We want to make a difference. How do we achieve that difference if, when we get attached to a political party, we wind up in a whole different hunting game just to win? The prize, yes, is to win, but for what purpose? What do we bring to the table? How do we achieve what we want to bring to the table?
