Seminar France-Quebec on Women Parliamentarism in France and Quebec
By videoconference
Canadian Branch of the "Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie" (CAPF)
On 13 and 14 October 2021, the Canadian Branch of the Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie (APF), represented by Marie-France Lalonde, Member of Parliament, participated in “Le parlementarisme féminin en France et au Québec : où en sommes-nous?”, a symposium about women in parliament in France and Quebec hosted by the Commission de la mémoire franco-québécoise.
The symposium was chaired by Pauline Marois, who was the Premier of Quebec from 2012 to 2014. This event provided a historical overview of women’s right to vote and a look at the representation of women in Quebec’s National Assembly, the French Senate and France’s National Assembly. Speakers also addressed topics such as the under-representation of women in electoral politics in both France and Quebec and the importance of gender parity within parliaments.
