Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has consistently undermined the Status of Women portfolio. First he cut a critical $5 million in financing and then he reassigned the portfolio from a senior minister to a junior minister. Now, after having to remove the junior minister from her job, he has handed the portfolio to a minister who has other obligations.
Canadian women deserve a competent and dedicated minister, not a blundering junior minister and not someone for which this is a side duty.
When will the government finally stand up for the women of Canada?
