‘The fact that so many people are denouncing his comments is encouraging for women in politics,’ Amanda Simard said
TORONTO — Former prime minister Brian Mulroney apologized Monday for using the term “little girl” to refer to an Ontario politician who left the Progressive Conservative caucus over cuts to francophone services.
Brian Mulroney apologized the next day, saying he used the French expression “p’tite fille,” translated as little girl, while speaking about Amanda Simard when he should have said “young woman.” “He has done great things for Canada, but his comments belong to another era and have no place in a respectful and egalitarian society,” Simard wrote.
