Mr. Speaker, I rise to associate our party with a renewal process as old as Parliament itself.
As time goes on, this House is reflecting more and more our country's diversity in terms of the different languages, genders, sexual orientations, races, beliefs and cultures.
We have to become more representative of the population. Today, I rise to take a step in that direction.
Today, on behalf of my party, I accept the Equal Voice challenge. The Liberal Party is committed to having more women in politics, in Parliament, and in government after the next election.
Today, on behalf of my party, I pledge that, at the next election, at least one third of our Liberal candidates will be women.
