Madam Speaker, in support of my colleague's comments, I would like to quote from a report published in 1992 by Statistics Canada which says that in 1986, women's activity in the homes was equivalent to about a third of business activity as expressed by the Gross Domestic Product. Such housework was then valued at $199 billion. So, you are quite right.
To remedy the problem of economic violence, the Liberal government should start implementing pay equity in the public service without any further delay.
