Context: House Hansard - 129 - Nov/17/22
Mrs. Rechie Valdez (Mississauga—Streetsville, Lib.)
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-306, An Act to establish National Women’s Entrepreneurship Day. She said: Mr. Speaker, it is no secret that women entrepreneurs in every industry face systemic barriers when trying to start and grow their businesses. Supporting them is the right thing to do and the smart thing to do. Our government recognizes that fact and continues to look for ways to stand by these innovative leaders as they break down barriers. I rise in the House today to introduce the bill entitled “an act to establish national women's entrepreneurship day”. As a former small business entrepreneur, I know it is important that we mark November 19 of each year as national women's entrepreneurship day. This day is already celebrated in more than 140 countries and it is recognized by the United Nations. I ask the members of the House to consider November 19 as national women's entrepreneurship day. Women are intelligent, creative and ambitious, and they already know how to achieve success. We will be there for them, and we will assist them as they need. We will work toward solving the problems of today to build a brighter tomorrow.
