I am sorry, Mr. Speaker, but this is a moment when we need bold actions, not just platitudes.
The Prime Minister said that he would guarantee that all incumbents could keep their seats. Doing the math, that means he will have to find 116 female candidates for the remaining 155 ridings if he wants to reach parity. I would love to see that. The parties have been making efforts for 151 years, but today we need concrete action.
Can the government tell us what it plans to do to ensure that more women are elected in 2019?
