Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Scarborough Centre for all of her hard work. The women entrepreneurship strategy in Canada is working. Since 2018, our government has invested over $7 billion, and in Canada, women entrepreneurs and women-led businesses are growing, at 18% now, up from under 16%. Our ecosystem is helping Canadian women entrepreneurs grow. Over 10,000 new businesses have been started by women, and over 12,000 businesses have grown under the support of this government. I want to thank all the incredible women entrepreneurs across the country on International Women's Day.
