Statistics Canada's Centre for Gender, Diversity and Inclusion Statistics (CGDIS) has released new findings on the gender representation of federally elected and appointed representatives. These data tables are part of the Gender Results Framework (GRF), first introduced by the Government of Canada in 2018 to track the progress of gender equality in Canada.
In recognition of International Women's Day, the CGDIS has also released an infographic titled "Gender representation among Canadian members of Parliament and Cabinet," which provides a brief overview of gender representation in Canada's House of Commons and Cabinet.
