Canada’s provincial and territorial leaders are expected to convene soon at the Council of the Federation, and it is quite noticeable, that now mostly women rule the majority of biggest provinces. In light of the upcoming annual conference scheduled this week in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., it was pointed out that a complete majority of more than 87 per cent of Canadians are governed by female premiers in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nunavut.
Acknowledging the underlined fact, Ontario Premier, Kathleen Wynne, mentioned on Tuesday that “it makes it historic and I’m aware of that,” adding that “I’d like to think we can do a great job because of who’s sitting around the table.” She further explained that “but I don’t have a point of comparison, because when there were 13 men around the table, I wasn’t there. So I can’t really judge the quality of the discussion or the approaches.”
Wynne is anticipated to host the meeting as chair of the council on Wednesday, when the premiers will convene with First Nations leaders to discuss education and other issues. She acclaimed that “I would hope that we’d find that there is an even increased ability to have a collaborative and frank discussion although I understand that these discussions have always been collegial and they are pretty open.” She added that “my hope would be that we’ll have some real conversations about how we can work together. That’s certainly the tone of the discussions that I’ve had one-on-one with my colleagues.”
