Thank you for that.
Bill C-25 is a bill that's gone through part of its movement through the House, and it's with committee right now. Part of it is addressing just that: ensuring that we do better than having one out of five seats filled by women around corporate board tables. We know that when there are more women around those tables, we make better decisions. I'll be working with Minister Bains on that. I know that colleagues in the House and committee will make sure that it's the best bill it can be.
We hosted Canada's Daughters of the Vote here on International Women's Day. Those 338 young women and their passion and their knowledge and their talent and the respectful ways they conducted their debates and dialogue—all these are reminders of why we need more diversity in this place.
We've been working on various initiatives, and there will be a lot of work ahead of us. One thing that I believe in, and I know members around this table believe, is that those of us who are here, women or men, have a responsibility to the next generation of leaders who are watching us, who are paying attention not just to what we're doing and how we're spending but also to how we conduct ourselves here. We have a responsibility for the way we behave, the words that we use. We have a responsibility as leaders to lead by example and to make sure that we are positive contributors to the culture shift that needs to happen.
