Absolutely, Mr. Speaker.
I very much enjoyed my colleague's comments, especially the ones specifically directed to this bill. They were well articulated.
As a caucus, our leader is committed and focused on increasing the number of women who come into this place, especially the ones who come in under our banner. Our leader has made that commitment to the Canadian people.
What I have heard from some women in my caucus, colleagues who have much more experience than I federally, is that they believe the bill would further handcuff them by not allowing them to borrow from family. The only place one can borrow money is from a bank, which they believe would further handcuff them and restrict their ability to get into politics at the federal level.
Does my colleague believe that this could in fact go against where we are trying to go as a party to increase the number of women in the House?
