Mr. Speaker, let me tell the leader of the NDP what the government is doing.
In New Brunswick we have assisted entrepreneurs to grow their businesses and develop leadership skills that will help them become future business leaders.
In Manitoba we funded a program to increase the awareness and prevention on the important issue of human trafficking and the exploitation of women.
We have also funded a national women's shelter program to improve the access to quality services for women who are in abusive situations, with a focus on aboriginal, immigrant and rural women.
Our Minister for Status of Women is doing great work, and the House should be proud of it.
