OTTAWA — Jody Wilson-Raybould says she envisions a day when women can “speak truth” about important issues, after listening to the 338 delegates taking part in the “Daughters of the Vote” event happening on the Hill.
“We have extraordinary leadership across the country in all of these young women and young leaders, however they identify themselves, have spoken truth about serious issues that are confronting our country, confronting politicians, and I actually envision one day where we speak about these really important issues, to speak truth about these important issues and have 338 members of Parliament working together to tackle them,” Wilson-Raybould said.
Meanwhile, Trudeau was having to defend his feminist credentials on his way into the Liberal caucus meeting on Wednesday morning. The trio were visibly emotional, as delegate after delegate of the “Daughters of the Vote” event stood to speak to the importance of encouraging women to enter politics, and about the importance of representation.
