Message To Women Entrepreneurs By Hon. Mary Ng, P.C., M.P. On International Women’s Day

Small Business Canada

Advancing women’s economic empowerment is not only the right thing to do – it’s necessary for Canada’s success. In 2018, our government made an unprecedented investment with Canada’s first-ever Women Entrepreneurship Strategy. This has been a challenging year that has disproportionately impacted women entrepreneurs and business owners, and we know that women’s empowerment continues to be the way forward.

We will keep supporting women in a kaleidoscope of ways: from legislating pay equity and universal childcare, to creating an Action Plan for Women in the Economy and making inclusive investments so women can grow their businesses in Canada and globally.

Hon. Mary Ng, P.C., M.P. – Minister of Small Business, Export Promotion and International Trade
