So you're proposing that the #1 value that all Canadians share, above all their freedoms and democratic rights, is that women should be encouraged to be in the public space? I suggest you're demonstrating two things. First, the near-impossibility of finding values that all Canadians share. And second, the incompatibility of your screening question with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

In Canada there are still many people who, though productive members of society, do not share the point of view you expressed. Furthermore their opinion on the matter is protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. So even though you and I welcome women in the public space, other Canadians do not and they're entitled to their views.

So you see, you haven't elucidated a core value. Your belief is not something that Canadians are obligated to hold. Please try again.
