Mr. Speaker, this past weekend, thousands of women and men came together on Parliament Hill to celebrate the incredible undertaking of several dozen women who crossed this country to deliver an important message to our government.
The march started in Vancouver on May 14 to raise the awareness of all governments in this country about the importance of taking concrete action to put an end to the social and economic problems which affect women in particular.
A number of measures taken by us since our election are focussed on that objective. We are determined to do everything necessary to raise the awareness of provincial governments and to invite them to work along with us in meeting the legitimate expectations these Canadian women have made known to us during this great march.
Bravo to all the participants!
