| Answer: |
As we strive to promote sustainable development to eliminate the fundamental barriers to human development and contribute to a more secure, equitable and prosperous World, we believe that human rights, democracy, the respect for diversity and gender equality should be advocated and they are part of USC’s Mission/Vision. It is essential that Canada should support such values and we should ensure that they are upheld here as well as promoting them to others. We have to secure our commitment to these ideals in Canada and first ensure that the celebration of diversity remains a core component of Canadian life.
Particularly Canada’s lead role in gender equity should continue and be promoted. Canada can play a vital role in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, to name only those two startling examples, sharing our values and making our experience benefit women.
