Petition to the House of Commons
- More than half of the population of Canada is female, but only 26% of its representatives in the House of Commons are female;
- A record number of female MPs have been elected but as it has in the past, that number will ebb and flow; and
- A better representation of women in the House of Commons would guarantee that at all times the voters of our country would have the benefit of both female and male perspectives on the issues facing our nation.
