We do in fact advocate a similar approach. Only 61% of women are in the active labour force, compared to 73% of men. As a Quebecker, you know that some laws in Quebec encourage women to return to work. In fact, women across Canada are being encouraged to reintegrate the labour market.
Instead of sitting back and waiting for legislation that will make it easier for women to reintegrate the job market, we have worked with our members to develop programs across the country to encourage women to go out into the workforce. Take daycare, for example. A growing number of Canadian retail companies subsidize daycare in the workplace to ensure that their female employees stay on the job. We are advocating a two-pronged approach: legislation to help women in the workforce, as well as industry measures to facilitate that process.
