Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you, Jenna.

Thank you, Minister Ien, for your unwavering commitment to supporting women, girls and gender-diverse people in this country.

Minister, on International Women's Day, my municipal colleagues at the City of Brampton unanimously passed a motion to implement mandatory gender-based analysis-plus training for all senior staff, using our federal tool.

We both had the chance to attend the UN Commission on the Status of Women, where Canada is a world leader on gender equality and GBA+. As Canada is a leading international model, can you please provide an update on the government's effort to promote the use of GBA+?
