Mr. Speaker, I support the first couple of components of the motion, parts (a) and (b).
I have two questions for the minister, and I hope they come across as non-partisan.
First, I know committees are the masters of their destinies, but the scope in part (d) of the motion seems to me to be an excellent component for the Status of Women committee to study. Does the minister feel the House should spend additional resources on a separate committee for this issue?
Second, the minister mentioned the promotion of women in leadership roles. We will have the opportunity to have a lot of leadership in the House with the election of committees. What does she think about the role of women in the leadership of committees as the House goes forward?
