Mr. Speaker, when I see Bloc members flip-flopping this way, I wonder who might have partisan motives in mind.
That being said, if the member wants assessments, he could contact the organization Rights and Democracy in Montreal, for example, not far from where he lives. It has succeeded in opening a number of women’s centres all over Afghanistan. Through those centres, Rights and Democracy has already trained more than 6,000 women so that they can explain to their peers that they have the right to go to school, to speak and to live in security.
That is only one example among many others. CARE Canada has also provided support for more than 10,000 widows and their families.
