As Minister of International Trade, Export Promotion, Small Business and Economic Development, I know how critical it is that women be empowered to engage more fully in the economic life of our country, especially in leadership roles. The Rosenzweig Report is an accurate and useful means of charting the advancement of women at corporate Canada’s highest levels, and serves as a reminder that there is more to be done. It is a pleasure to know the Report’s author, Jay Rosenzweig, and to advocate in common cause with him on issues of women’s rights. I continue to be impressed with his longstanding commitment to gender equality and broader human rights causes.

–	The Honourable Mary Ng, Minister of International Trade, Export Promotion, Small Business & Economic Development
