Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Secretary of State for the Status of Women. The recent census has shown that women are now occupying 22% of the top well paying jobs in Canada. Between 1990 and 1995 the number of men in these occupations dropped by 5% while the number of women increased 26%. Does this mean that we are finally closing the gender gap in the paid workforce?
In the House of Commons on May 13th, 1998. See this statement in context.
