Mr. Speaker, October is Women's History Month, and it is not over yet. Join me in celebrating all the amazing women and girls across the country, women past and present who have made groundbreaking discoveries in medicine, pioneered innovations in AI, championed in public service and so much more.
On this side of the House, we invest in women's prosperity. We have contributed $7 billion through the women entrepreneurship strategy to support over 400,000 women in launching and scaling up their businesses. On this side of the House, we invest in women's safety. We have contributed over $539 million through the national action plan to end gender-based violence to better protect women and end the cycle of violence. On this side of the House, we invest in women's leadership. Women make up 40% of our Liberal team in Parliament, and we have the largest women's caucus in Canadian history.
We know that when we invest in women, Canada thrives.
