UIPU Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union

On July 12, 2021, a delegation of the Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIPU) participated in the Parliamentary Forum at the United Nations High Level Political Forum on sustainable development. The Hon. David McGuinty, P.C., M.P., President of the UIPU, the Hon. Kim Pate, Senator, the Hon. Marilou McPhedran, Senator, the Hon. Salma Ataullahjan, Senator, the Hon. Rosa Galvez, Senator, and Ms. Lindsay Mathyssen, M.P., were part of the delegation.

During this event, participants discussed the role of parliamentarians and public authorities during times of crisis. They also talked about the part played by the public sector as well as the relationship between public and private actors. Participants highlighted several of the challenges the world is facing, including the global water crisis, inequity and poverty, and climate change, and contemplated how various stakeholders can work together to better address them.

During the discussion on the main theme of the event, Senator McPhedran emphasized that the sustainable development goals (SDGs) are interconnected and that SDG 5 (gender equality and women’s empowerment) complements and reinforces the other 16 goals.
