Liberal Leader Urges Women To Run For Office

The Provincial Liberal leader says women govern with civility, consensus and co-operation and he says that's why we need to have more involved. 

Brian Gallant says in 100 years only 40 women have been elected provincially in this province.

He says they are some practical barriers they have to look at and the Liberal party has a women's commission that will be giving recommendations on how to get more women involved in provincial politics.

Gallant says Canada now has 6 premiers that are women while this province is lagging behind when women make up less than 15 per cent of the legislature.
