Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for his speech today and certainly he made some very good points. We appreciate his work.
What Canada promises to all of its citizens is opportunity. What Canada promises to those who come to this country is opportunity. Not always is the outcome successful in new ventures but we try to provide equal opportunity for all who come to this country, regardless of their gender.
In Afghanistan, women have been given some of rights that they had never been able to have in the past. Women now represent 25% of that country's parliament. Women are back in schools.
I wonder if the member would comment as to how Canada is helping the rights of women in that country.
