Mr. Speaker, last week at the United Nations, we heard the Minister of Foreign Affairs say:
Often, the people who claim to speak for freedom are the same people who want the government to decide who people can love, who they are or even what they can wear.
We see it in our country. We see it around the world....
In Afghanistan, we see it taken to its extreme as the Taliban continue to impose inhumane rules against women and girls....
Today, on the International Day of the Girl, I asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs if she can reaffirm our government's commitment to girls.
