Symbolism matters deeply. It's symbolism combined with action, really, that will provide the solutions. It should be habitual that we see leading women on our Canadian symbols, and putting the first Canadian woman on a banknote is a very good start. It was absolutely well overdue but necessary, in a very deep sense, in order to make progress.
But it's not just symbolism; it's more than that. This is where the 338 federal ridings come into play. This is really an opportunity for all of us around the table and all our colleagues in the House of Commons to look at our constituencies to see what symbols we have, historically and locally, and what symbols we can still create, and then combine that with really concrete pathways to action. As I said in my remarks, it may involve a protest, or it may result in research by graduate students on some of the data gaps that we have being profiled during gender equality week.
I think that's another very important aspect of this bill that I didn't touch upon in my opening remarks. We are missing some data, especially on the populations of minority women who are facing specific challenges.
