I am currently working with the organization you mentioned. I know it's different in a woman's case. Women need to be asked a number of times to run before they do so, in comparison with men. We sometimes hear that women run in constituencies where they have no chance of winning. However, would it be possible that women don't run because the working conditions of MPs are not favourable?
Personally, I have two grown children. However, I didn't know there was no maternity leave in the House of Commons. So if a woman plans to raise a family, she must take leave without pay. There is no daycare for children at certain times. What do people do when they have children? Currently, one MP brings her child to the House. What happens when a vote takes place late in the evening and people have no babysitter?
I think work needs to be done in the House to improve working conditions, and not only for women and young families.
