Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to the last speaker and it sounds as if he has a valid concern. However, it seems to me that the legislation he is addressing is discriminatory and the government is trying to resolve that with a concept called employment equity.
I could be corrected on this, but I believe it was last year when we had recognition of women's day in the House, a women Liberal MP suggested that the House had a long way to go because over 51 per cent of the voters in the country are women but only 18 per cent of MPs are women. Where lies the problem? Women have the vote. Women have the intelligence to vote.
