Status of Women committee  In 2013 I had the pleasure of becoming the minister. I went out with departmental officials and others and talked to a lot of Canadians, particularly young women interested in excelling in or changing their careers or finding something that would provide them a great opportunity

Status of Women committee  I will leave that with you, Minister. It was not my intent to have a diatribe but rather to ask you and the current government to make a sincere investment in that program.

Status of Women committee  We had the first women-led, all women participant trade mission to Brazil. My first question for the minister—and I will say I am splitting my time, so I will cut you off, Minister, as I'd like succinct answers—is when will the next all women-led trade mission be, where will it
