Thank you.
Minister, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. I wish we were meeting in different circumstances. I think we have some mutual friends, and I have a lot of respect for what you're doing and for a lot of what you said. I wish we had two hours, to be honest with you, because this really is a non-partisan issue in so many regards, and I can see your effort. I can see your passion, and I can see your authenticity. I really value that, and I appreciate it today.
I want to talk a little about two things, if I can. We've seen a real shift. I loved your comment that the eagle can't fly with one wing. I'm very interested in what we're doing for our young boys and men, and how we're changing that. We've seen some incredible growth with women and opportunities, like yourself being a female minister of colour. It's amazing.
We see women who are now having these opportunities, but our men have not had an opportunity to transition with that. We had clearly defined gender-based roles for years, for decades. We look at the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s models of pink jobs versus blue jobs, and now we have men who sometimes don't know where they fit as a result of a strong, powerful woman, and that can often translate into perhaps coercive control or an unhealthy relationship.
What do you think would be an effective strategy to teach our youth about knowing what your place is? It really comes down to men maybe not feeling like they have a place if the woman is now providing the money, if the woman is now doing these things. What can we do in terms of policy and culture to help men know that they are still very important as we all evolve?
