There are definitely women's rights advocacy groups.
I think this amendment was moved because I didn't believe this motion was objective. I don't believe that's the case. I find it unfortunate, because it's toying with people; it's manipulative. I find it unfortunate that we have come to this point on the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. We should be working together.
We've made recommendations, this motion for example, in various reports. In the report on human trafficking, we talk about violence against women and children. There were very specific recommendations on these points in various reports.
The motion introduced today must be amended to give women more equality. I am the daughter of a veteran who is now dead. However, that doesn't mean that we have more equality today; that's not true. Yes, it's written in the Charter, but pay equity hasn't yet been achieved. So equality and parity haven't yet been achieved. It's false to claim the contrary. Those visiting Canada aren't tricked because the word “equality” has been removed from the documents presented. I'm sorry, but they aren't tricked by that.
