Mr. Speaker, our government has made gender equality a key priority with the appointment of a historic gender balanced cabinet and the first ever full Minister for Status of Women.
Previous ministers responsible for the Status of Women were also ministers of departments that already had offices. Being located in the same building as the department, as is the standard across government, will ensure that departmental and ministerial operations run more efficiently.
I look forward to working with the member opposite to further the opportunities for women and girls in this country.
