Mr. Speaker, I am proud to serve alongside strong, extraordinary women, not only in my gender-balanced cabinet but also within our caucus.
These are extraordinary women who work hard every day and are helping to build a stronger Canada, a country where gender equality prevails and where indigenous peoples are given opportunities as partners in everything we do, a country where we have lifted 825,000 people out of poverty in the past two years, because we are investing in the middle class and those working hard to join it.
