 Thank you, Marie-Claude. Thank you not only for your kind introduction, but also for the hard work you do every day as our Minister for International Development and La Francophonie. We're also joined by our extraordinary Minister for the Status of Women, Maryam Mansaf, who makes sure that every day, all of us push for a better world. I want to thank Katia Iversen, President and CEO of Women Deliver, for being here today. And of course, I need to thank my wife and my inspiration, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, for being here with us as well. Katia, you might be wondering why we chose this place to make today's announcement. The truth is, I can't think of a better place to share today's news than right here at a monument that celebrates Canada's famous five. These five women, like many generations of strong women who followed them, were unwavering advocates for Canada's women and girls. They believed that women could and should be equal participants in public service and that women were no less qualified to serve than men and, in many cases, more qualified. And they were right. Today, women occupy half of the seats in our office. They are part of the group of people in charge of establishing the priorities of our government and making the decisions. And the leader of our government in the House of the Communes is a woman, the first in the history of Canada to occupy this place. In local assemblies, in provincial or territorial legislatures, in the House of the Communes and in the Senate, women follow the traces of the famous five who worked tirelessly to build a world where each person really has a real and equal chance of success. And as a government, we work hard so that Canadians and the support they need to succeed. We are following through on our promises and we're showing an entire generation of Canadian girls and boys what it really means to be a feminist. But I don't want to leave anyone with the impression that our work is anywhere near done. Here and around the world, we need to take a stronger stand in defense of human rights, especially those of women and girls. The right to access the same opportunities available to men and boys, including the right to a good education and to good, well-paying jobs. The right to decent health care and the freedom to make their own choices when it comes to their sexual and reproductive health and rights. The right to be full and equal participants in their households, in their communities, and in their economies. These are the things that KACHA and women deliver, advocate for every single day. And they're not alone. The last week, the Minister of the Bible presented the International Women's Health Policy of Canada. This policy reaffirms the commitment of Canada to the need for the reduction of poverty and inequalities. It puts the equality of sex and the autonomy of women and girls at the heart of our efforts. The allocation of $650 million to fill persistent gaps in terms of health and reproductive and sexual rights for women and girls is one of the key elements of this policy. We have adopted this approach because we are convinced that the best way to build a more solid, safer and more prosperous world is to support women and girls. To take back the words of the Women Deliver Organization, that the world invests in women. Everyone wins. Today, I am happy to announce that Canada will be the top of the next Women Deliver Conference in Vancouver in June 2019. Today, I am excited to share the news that Canada will be home to the next Women Deliver Conference to take place in Vancouver in June of 2019. As I know well, Vancouver is one of Canada's most exciting, most diverse and most forward-looking cities, making it the ideal place for a global gathering like the Women Deliver Conference. The conference brings together more than 6,000 leaders, influencers, advocates and activists from more than 160 countries, with another 100,000 people joining in online. It's a chance for people to meet and mobilize, to listen and to learn, especially from those whose perspectives are not always given the attention they deserve, indigenous peoples, young people and survivors of violence and conflict. The Women Deliver Conference doesn't just inspire and motivate the people who attend. It reminds all of us of our responsibility to take care of each other and the need to continue to work together so that women and girls around the world are given every opportunity to succeed. In addition to hosting the 2019 conference, Canada will be providing $20 million over three years starting this year to support Women Deliver and its global advocacy work. This support will help Women Deliver continue its efforts to improve the health, rights and well-being of women and girls with a focus on sexual and reproductive health and rights, including in fragile and humanitarian settings. Emily Murphy, the first of the five celebrities, said this, Every time I don't know if I have to or not to fight, I fight. By working tirelessly with the protection and promotion of health, rights and well-being of women and girls, the Women Deliver organization continues this battle. I am proud that Vancouver welcomes this important worldwide event, and I hope that with me, you will do what is possible so that the Women Deliver 2019 conference is the best of all.
