A colleague of my grandmother, Nellie McClung, fought for equality in this country of Canada in the persons case, for the equality of women to vote, for the equality for women to be persons, and she did it without a court challenges program. She did it without going to the Supreme Court. She did it by marching in the streets and appealing for equality to the members of this Parliament in this building. That is the level playing field; that is why this building exists. If we exercise that, then we have equality, instead of this selective equality put forward by an incestuous board deciding to give its own colleagues funding for their own pet projects.
