Today is International Women's Day, and as the member for Scarborough—Agincourt asked her question of the Prime Minister and he was responding, the member for South Shore—St. Margarets yelled at the member for Scarborough—Agincourt, “She deserves a participation medal.” Undermining the presence of women in the House, especially on this day, is absolutely abhorrent. Every woman has fought to be in this place and every woman deserves to be in this place, and I ask the member to retract that comment.
