Thank you.
Again, it's going to be a gendered question around the care economy. It's going to be about pay equity.
I was looking at the Statistics Canada release from January 25. It stated that one-fifth of the employed labour force was working in care occupations, and that women made up the majority of that paid care in Canada. Unfortunately, immigrant women and those from invisible minority groups were less likely to hold well-paid care positions in relation to their male counterparts.
What tools does the federal government have to correct the pay equity gap, keeping in mind what I heard today around the child care pieces and that we're going to have to have a lot more child care workers? How can the federal government help with that pay inequity?
