“It is an honour to be selected and serve as the Woman Parliamentarian for Manitoba,” Hiebert said. “I look forward to supporting and advocating the views and concerns of Manitoba women parliamentarians.”
The CWP-Canadian Region, established in 2005, includes elected women from each provincial and territorial legislature as well as the federal parliament. The group’s aim is to promote women as equal partners in Canada’s legislatures and to help young women explore careers in politics and public service.
Hiebert emphasized the importance of encouraging female representation and addressing gender-related issues.
“I look forward to meeting with my colleagues from across Canada as we continue to influence change in both my home province and the country,” she said.
The Steering Committee, which governs the CWP-Canadian Region, advocates for women in politics and develops programs to advance the organization’s goals.
