Great meeting with my youth advisory- the CCYF - over the weekend, where we welcomed 5 new members! I'm always inspired by these young leaders driving change and focused on the future of Canada’s democracy.

Next week in the Senate, our APPA committee’s report will be considered and we will be seeking support for our amendments to Bill S-2 to eliminate sex-based discrimination in the Indian Act - including the second-generation cut-off and reinstating the “one parent” rule.

Last week I was in Reykjavík for the annual Reykjavík Global Forum which is a gathering of leaders from politics, civil society, business, academia, and the arts all focused on one question: how do we move faster toward “equality in practice”, i.e., not just on paper. @donnadasko.bsky.social

Today, I was honoured to co-host a National Child Day breakfast at the Senate with Senators Clement, Pate, Martin, M. Deacon, Senior, McBean and Osler. Bringing young advocates from across the country together filled me with hope as we continue working toward a future where every child can thrive.
