Canada’s Minister of Jobs and Families, and Thunder Bay Superior North MP Patty Hajdu, has just wrapped up a trip to New York to attend the United Nations High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development.
The forum is an opportunity for UN countries to gather and discuss progress made toward the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
These goals are a collective call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and build a just, peaceful and inclusive world for all.
Well at the meeting Minister Hajdu presented Canada’s National Statement on the development goals.
On the first day of the forum, the minister participated in a talk on adequate housing for all alongside the President of the UN Economic and Social Council, Bob Rae.
On the Forum’s final day, the minister hosted Canada’s official side event on inclusive and sustainable jobs.
This event brought together a diverse group of individuals to explore how digital education, disability inclusion, and private sector engagement can help build more inclusive economies.
While at the UN, Minister Hajdu and Minister of Labour and Social Protection for the Republic of Moldova, Alexei Buzu, also signed a Declaration of Intent to establish a Canada-Moldova Social Security Agreement.
