Mr. Speaker, when I was a municipal councillor, I was approached by Merna Forster and was pleased to lead Oakville council calling on the Bank of Canada to include a prominent Canadian woman on one of our banknotes, which is something we have not seen in almost 150 years.
Thousands of people from across the country signed a petition calling upon the government to highlight Canadian women on our money, recognizing the significant role that women have played in shaping our nation.
Can the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance outline the government's plan for action on this important issue?
