Minister Gould is currently on maternity leave from the Canadian Cabinet, the first and subsequently second person in history to do so. She serves as the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and previously was the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, Minister for International Development and Minister of Democratic Institutions.
Gould will be discussing Canadian social programs (childcare, school food and health care) and their impact on women, the economy and society. She will highlight why the Canadian Government made social programs a priority, how the Government of Canada was able to sign agreements across the federated country and look at the lessons Canada can learn from the United States and lessons the United States can learn from Canada.
