Mr. Speaker, I listened to the minister's speech with great interest, and I think the spirit of what she is saying is embraced by everyone in the House.
I have a question about the part of her speech on representation on various boards and committees, but also in the House of Commons. I applaud the gender balanced cabinet that the Prime Minister has appointed, but is the minister also in favour of perhaps political parties having targets for women candidates? For example, parties would run slates that would be balanced with 50% women and 50% men.
