I trust Canadians to be able to look at the different parties, the different leaders, the plans, the teams, and make a responsible choice. And I'm very, very confident that's exactly what Canadians are going to do.
The Liberal Party will not vote - no Liberal member of Parliament will vote - to take away a woman's right to choose.
I have no fears that on a purely merit basis, we will have an embarrassment of riches from which to choose in order to reach gender parity.
I was a high-school teacher. I am a strong advocate for women's rights, and I'm not a woman.
Open nominations means it is local Liberals who choose who gets to be their representative. But what that doesn't mean is that somebody can behave any which way and bully other people out of the nomination and then be the last person standing.
Our child benefit goes directly to the families who need it the most.
Any decision made by my father was the result of a process that had involved many voices and which sometimes had taken weeks or months.
I have made it clear that future candidates need to be completely understanding that they will be expected to vote pro-choice on any bills.
We need the middle class to feel more confident about its prospects and about its future. We need to cut down on this anxiety that sees some people succeeding and the majority struggling - having to make choices between paying for their kids' education or saving for their own retirement.
I think growing an economy is a good way to help with a deficit, but ultimately, it's about fiscal discipline and responsible spending - and smart decisions.
Who cares about winning? We should focus on serving.
Canadians want to elect good people to be their voice in Ottawa.
Living your life in the public eye is a greater burden than most people can imagine.
My father raised us to step toward trouble rather than to step away from it.
