I speak to many small business owners. I know that you were a small business owner and a successful one. You probably had to work twice as hard—you're a woman—to open a business.
Why did the government not consider putting in place programs for women, especially when we're looking at gender equality and the economic empowerment of women? Why did your government not put in place, particularly for at-risk businesses, programs to ensure that we could support gender equality in small business ownership?
I ask you that because your government often claims to be a feminist government. I would disagree with that on a lot of matters, certainly when it comes to businesses and some of the programs. Did your government consider putting in programs that were specific to gender or marginalized communities in terms of lack of representation in small businesses?
