Trudeau's government also announced Tuesday that it would be tackling the dude dominance of Canadian bank notes and putting a woman who isn't the Queen on a bill.

It's not the first time Trudeau has touted his feminism. In January, Trudeau said people shouldn't be afraid of the word feminist during a discussion at the Davos economic forum.
