Canada's commitment to empowering women and girls, achieving gender equality, condemning all forms of discrimination and eliminating gender-based violence is unwavering and will never change. As the minister pointed out in her speech to the United Nations, Canada's foreign policy will be guided by three principles: defence and security, economic sovereignty and our values. Speaking of values, feminism is a core value of our government and an important part of our foreign policy.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9011389\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, voyons donc. Je tiens \u00e0 \u00eatre claire: l'engagement du Canada envers l'autonomisation des femmes et des filles, la r\u00e9alisation de l'\u00e9galit\u00e9 des sexes, la condamnation de toutes les formes de discrimination et l'\u00e9limination de la violence sexiste est in\u00e9branlable et cela ne changera jamais. Comme la ministre l'a soulign\u00e9 dans son discours aux Nations unies, la politique \u00e9trang\u00e8re du Canada sera guid\u00e9e par trois principes: la d\u00e9fense et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9, la souverainet\u00e9 \u00e9conomique et nos valeurs. Parlant de valeurs, le f\u00e9minisme est une valeur fondamentale de notre gouvernement et un \u00e9l\u00e9ment important de notre politique \u00e9trang\u00e8re.</p>"
