Today's open debate is an opportunity to focus on what remains to be done to implement the women, peace and security agenda. In that spirit, Canada's Action Plan for the Implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Women, Peace and Security was launched on October 5th, 2010. Canada's Action Plan includes comprehensive and consistent, whole-of-government action supported by clear, national objectives and performance indicators. The implementation of this plan will enhance the effectiveness and accountability of Canadian and United Nations' peace operations, and help build peace that respects the fundamental equality of women and men.
