Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to welcome our witnesses and thank them for appearing before the Standing Committee on the Status of Women.
I listened to your presentations carefully, both that of the nurses and that of the teachers. I was very surprised to discover that among teachers, a vast majority of women are still disadvantaged compared to men in the year 2007.
I would like to ask you a question regarding the document you provided for our information.
Do you think that in order to ensure greater economic security for women, the government should give priority to policies on equity and equality, and that if the principles of justice and integration were included as part of the foundation of our society, it would be more democratic?
