Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is an honour to have an opportunity in our virtual Parliament, and it certainly is lovely to see the faces of so many friends.
The petition I'm honoured to present today deals with an issue that we've become sharply aware of during the pandemic, which is that so many workers on the front lines, so many workers who are underpaid, are women. This petition calls for legislation at long last to ensure pay equality and pay equity and to make sure that women in Canada are treated absolutely as we are—equals.
