Sure.
I promised I would provide the source for the statistical information related to women part-time workers. It comes from Statistics Canada, “Women in Canada: work chapter updates”, from 2006. I have a copy of it, but we can provide you with one as necessary.
Earlier on, one of the committee members asked if there were two things we wished for. I didn't get to answer that question, so I'm going to take the liberty to do that.
They would include a national child care program and the elimination of discrimination of all kinds. That would include proactive pay equity legislation. We are truly committed to ensuring that women in Canada have the ability to access full economic equality in this country. That includes access to working in non-traditional jobs. They deserve the support to fully participate from us as members of civil society.
Thank you.
