In Quebec, to get the economy back on its feet after the crisis, the Quebec government announced a massive infrastructure investment program in Quebec municipalities. It is a $42 million program, with no access to equality program for women. When the president of the Conseil du statut de la femme, Christiane Pelchat, pointed this fact out in the media in Quebec, she was ridiculed by a lot of the media.
So we see how far we have to go in terms of raising awareness and coordinating the partners' efforts in this regard. Nobody talks about access to equality programs anymore. There are various laws, it's complicated. In Quebec, we still have pay equity, fortunately for us, although there is still a lot left to do to uphold the Pay Equity Act and to achieve tangible equity in half of the companies and SMEs in Quebec.
That is the other facet. We analyze it this way. There is recognizing the value of women's jobs, which inevitably calls for a pay equity act and unionization of women workers in industries where they are not unionized. The other facet is employment equity and access for women to predominantly male occupations, where there is a huge amount of work to do. As I was saying just now, there is a myth to break down. We have to make this situation known and ensure that the partners work together on this issue.
