Mr. Speaker, during the 1993 elections, we campaigned on a number of issues and concerns of particular interest for women.
In our red book, we made a commitment to women's health, and I quote: "A Liberal government will add a Centre of Excellence for Women's Health, aimed at effective and equal treatment of women's health issues in the Canadian health care system".
On June 25, our government announced the establishment of five centres of excellence for women's health. These centres are being set up to remedy the grave failures of our research efforts with regard to women's health and of a health care system which does not pay enough attention to the particular needs of women across Canada.
This is only one of our government's many achievements in favour of Canadian women.
