CAPF Canadian Branch of the Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie

The Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie (APF) Network of Women Parliamentarians was formed in 2002 to promote greater participation of women in political, economic, social and cultural life both at the national level and across the francophone world. On June 30, the APF’s Network of Women Parliamentarians met by videoconference. Marie-France Lalonde, Member of Parliament, attended on behalf of the Canadian Branch of the APF. As rapporteur, Ms. Lalonde presented the Canadian Branch’s report on the economic empowerment of francophone women. The rapporteurs from the APF’s various committees and networks conduct studies and ask the member branches to provide input on the topics chosen. Ms. Lalonde also proposed to organize a virtual conference on the same subject in the fall of 2021, which was approved. The parliamentarians discussed the potential new policy to prevent and address harassment in the APF, women’s role in extractive industries and their contribution to the fight against COVID-19. Members also debated future report topics for the Network. Ms. Lalonde suggested that the Canadian Branch help the New Caledonia Branch prepare a report proposal on discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people (LGBTI).
