Statement made on 08 March 2011 by Senator Claudette Tardif

Hon. Claudette Tardif (Deputy Leader of the Opposition):

Honourable senators, as we celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of International Women's Day, I would like to put on the record that four of our current Senate colleagues, as well as a former colleague, will be recognized at an event in Ottawa. The event has been organized by Equal Voice, a group that is dedicated to getting more women involved in Canadian politics.

The event, entitled "Leveraging Women's Leadership for the 21st Century: Changing the Game," will honour Senator Marjory LeBreton, Senator Catherine Callbeck, Senator Lucie Pépin, Senator Elaine McCoy and former Senator Pat Carney. To all these worthy recipients, we offer our most sincere congratulations. They have acted as trailblazers and as role models in each of their respective domains.
