Law Proposed to Create a National Women's Entrepreneurship Day

National Women's Entrepreneurship Day Law

Introduced Nov 17, 2022
Summary

This proposed law wants to create a special day to celebrate women business owners. It would be called National Women's Entrepreneurship Day. If it passes, Canada would officially recognize the contributions of women entrepreneurs every year. This proposed law would affect all women who own and run businesses in Canada. It would also affect organizations that support women in business. The day could be used to promote women-owned businesses and encourage more women to start their own companies. This matters because it would raise awareness about the important role women play in the Canadian economy. It could also inspire future generations of women to become entrepreneurs. Having a special day could help women business owners feel seen and valued.

Where This Lands on Key Issues

Where this proposed law falls on the policy spectrums that Canadians care about

Identity & Human RightsExpand protections for marginalized groups

By specifically celebrating women entrepreneurs, the bill promotes gender equity and inclusion, moving it slightly towards the +2 end of the spectrum.

Business & Worker RulesBalance business and worker needs

The bill indirectly supports business by celebrating women entrepreneurs, which could be seen as slightly pro-business. It doesn't directly impact worker rights, but the focus on entrepreneurship leans it slightly towards the -2 end.
