I am very upset. I don't know how to get through to my colleagues in terms of convincing them that we have a valid viewpoint. I only want what women are entitled to, which is pay equity. I introduced it in 1998, with my colleagues at the Coopérative de soutien à domicile, when the legislation came into effect in Quebec. We did a comparison of the work done by women providing housekeeping services to that of men doing heavy work, to ensure that, in relation to the work done, the wages given were equitable and equal. That was some 11 years ago.
