Madam Chair, through you, we need to let these women do the work they're qualified to do and pay them equitably. That part is not complicated. We need to be clear that this is what we are going for.
We are not looking for women to just survive. We don't want immigrant women to say that they are just doing this for their children and that the fact that they were doctors or engineers in their home country means nothing. I don't think that's a good deal for Canada. I think that we need to invest in making sure they have the jobs they need, and the barriers are really well known. The way we are structured is that we have immigration, employment and women's support in silos, and that needs to change.
