I support that idea. Last week again, we met with a number of groups who had come to make representations to members of the House of Commons. Those groups include the unions and associations who defend women's rights. They told us that, in their opinion, the bill had many gaps in its current form. It is quite difficult for complainants to get a decision within a relatively short period of time. We were also reminded that three or four cases were currently before the courts, and had been before the courts for some 20 years.
In Quebec, we currently have the Employment Equity Act. Since that legislation was enacted, nobody has gone bankrupt and no company has closed its doors. On the contrary, employers are very comfortable with the legislation. I think a model along the same lines should be applied to all of Canada, to deal with the current problems and provide some protection for workers.
