Agreed: Menstrual products are essential to the health of half of all Canadians. It's not treated as a basic need, and I think it's time for that to change. We asked for feedback from women on a potential proposal to amend regulations under the Canada Labour Code, which would require federally regulated employers to provide free menstrual products in the workplace. The results of those consultations were published online in what's called a “what we heard” report. Feedback through the consultation I think provided a fairly wide range of perspectives, and I think it will help to create a dialogue on this issue. I am committed to working with all stakeholders on this, including you. I will take you up on that.
