Madam Speaker, I want to pick up on the notion of how women's rights are being undermined in slow and insidious ways.
As a nurse, who went to nursing school in the 1970s, I saw the impact of a lack of choice for women far too many times. I also saw it in my work in the community with the most vulnerable.
I wonder if my colleague could speak to the many ways the government is working to enhance women's rights, certainly through the right to choose, but also through programs like $10-a-day child care, pharmacare, the school lunch program and ways we give women the ability to be financially independent and able to make choices within the family. We can really move this conversation out to all of the things we do through housing, access to food and finances, and also the right to choose what we do with our bodies.
