Trudeau Announces Joint Canada-U.S. Council for Women Entrepreneurs

EXCERPT:

TRUDEAU: "And as we know, investing in infrastructure is a great way to create the kind of economic growth that our countries so desperately need. In that same vein, we know that ensuring equal opportunities for women in the workforce is essential for growing the economy and maintaining American and Canadian competitiveness on the world stage. As such, the president and I have agreed to the creation of the Canada-United States council for advancement of women entrepreneurs and business leaders. This initiative is more than just about dollars and cents. This is about ensuring that women have the access to same opportunities as men and prioritizing the support and empowerment of women who are senior business leaders and entrepreneurs. In doing so, we'll grow the Canadian and American economies and help our businesses prosper."
