Minister, if you've read the reports, I assume you've read this report. It says very clearly that women earn 71¢ for every dollar earned by a man. Why aren't you prepared to accept the findings here? Why haven't you come forward with new pay equity legislation? You say we have this legislation, the status quo, that it is acceptable. Well, it is not acceptable.
It's your job to advocate for women. If you're not prepared to do that, then would you step aside for someone who will?
