Yes, at the midway point. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Ignatieff, for appearing today. We really appreciate it.
This committee has studied the whole issue of pay equity at some length over the past number of years. We welcome the chance to review your piece of legislation in the coming weeks.
Of all the issues you could have chosen to tackle using your private member's bill privilege, you chose pay equity. Can you briefly explain to the committee why you consider pay equity to be such a priority for Canadian women right now?
