He tweeted, “I have tremendous respect for women and the many roles they serve that are vital to the fabric of our society and our economy.”
Adding, “On International Women’s Day, join me in honouring the critical role of women here in America & around the world.”

He also released this beautiful video (in English AND French) to celebrate the day:
