In Canada, women's rights are a vital part of our effort to build a society of real equality - not just for some, but for all Canadians. A society in which women no longer encounter discrimination nor are shut out from opportunities open to others.

The achievements we forge in this place and in our nation will not be those of one person or one party.

One of the first things that the First Nations are going to have to decide is, is it going to 640 communities, or is it, in fact, going to be some 50 to 60 nations.

I rise in support of a Canada in which liberties are safeguarded, rights are protected and the people of this land are treated as equals under the law.

I am not the kind of person who won't get married because of my career, because there was nothing great happening in my career anyway.

My mom is very romantic. As is my dad. They appreciate real romance.

You won't find me in a romantic comedy. Those movies don't speak to me. People don't come to talk to me about those scripts, because they probably think I'm this dark, twisted, miserable person.

The big relationships you make in your life are with those that you love and if things do go wrong then it's a source of great pain and that lasts.
