I brought this up in my speech in the House on the theme of having this tied to action. I referenced some input we had from the United Steelworkers. They said:
...nice to have a week dedicated to thinking about the issue, but far better for women and girls to be able to enjoy gender equality throughout the entire year because there are programs and structures in place to ensure gender equality and fight misogyny and patriarchy.
I recommend, given that the government says it's going to do this, that we tie the celebration of the week and gender equality to something to celebrate. This would make the bill come into effect once legislation has been tabled.
