On March 15, 2022, the Hon. Marilou McPhedran, Senator, and Mr. Sven Spengemann, M.P., participated in a virtual event marking the 10th anniversary of the Plan of Action for Gender-sensitive Parliaments, a document adopted by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) at its 127th Assembly in Quebec City. This event was co-sponsored by the Permanent Mission of Canada to the United Nations. Senator McPhedran offered welcoming remarks, highlighting factors contributing to the underrepresentation of women in parliaments. Mr. Spengemann participated in the panel on the role of men in advancing gender equality. He emphasized recent developments in Canada, including the enactment of the Gender Equality Week Act in 2018, legislation which he had introduced in the House of Commons during the 42nd Parliament.
