Canada’s only female Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Kim Campbell, was honoured on this date in 2004 with the ceremony in Centre Block celebrating the unveiling of her Official Portrait.First of all, I want to say how proud I am to have my portrait hanging in the House of Commons. It is very humbling.
In many ways, the life that this portrait represents seems a long time ago, it is eleven years, since my time as Prime Minister came to an end.
And so, I am deeply honoured that I am the first woman to have her picture in the corridor, I really look forward to the day when there are many other female faces also hanging in the corridor, it gives me great pleasure that I get messages often from young women saying, in school we’re doing a program on the Prime Ministership and I’m writing about you because you’re the only woman.
