Madam Speaker, as a woman, I feel very passionate about the fact that I am one of the 30% here. On the campaign trail, I had the opportunity to meet with young girls, teenagers, even girls in their early 20s who wondered what it would be like to join politics in this climate.
I did not decide to become a politician until I was 46, so I do not know if I would have had the strength to stand here the same way at 20 years of age with the atmosphere here some days. I can really appreciate that.
We all have to work together and be nicer to each other in general.
