Canada: Voters send a record 76 women to parliament - most of them NDP

The 41st Parliament in Canada will have 76 women – up from 69 elected in 2008. Most are from the NDP, whose 40 women make up 39 per cent of its caucus. That’s the highest number of women in a Canadian federal caucus, but the percentage is lower than the NDP’s figures from the 2006 election.
