Mr. Speaker, today we were part of history when 338 young women from across Canada took their seats in this place and raised their voices.
Canada needs more women in politics, in business and in positions of power if we want our communities to prosper.
The work of Equal Voice and the Daughters of the Vote not only empower young women to seek public office, it gives them the tools they need to lead in their communities.
Having more young women in our democratic institutions will help us achieve gender equality.
