Madam Speaker, we are making gender equality a key priority, because our government understands that we simply cannot move forward when half of us are held back.

Women have been at the forefront of innovative solutions to some of the world's greatest challenges, and the W7 represents an opportunity for global leadership, which we are demonstrating.
