Thank you, Chair.
Here's a suggestion from West Coast LEAF:
...legislation and other actions like Bill C-309...not only do very little to address inequality in the everyday lives of women in Canada, but they also create a risk of misleading the public into thinking that the federal government is taking substantive action when they have little potential to create meaningful change.
—meaning the gender equality week.
... West Coast LEAF strongly encourages the government to take more substantive action that will create meaningful change in the lives of women.
My amendment here recommending that there be a conference with all “provincial representatives and stakeholders”...“to review issues and actions taken that are related to achieving proactive pay equity and promoting gender-based analysis legislation” again creates that transparency, that measurability, and that ongoing review of real action towards achieving gender equality.
