Mr. Speaker, I have already responded to the way in which we are looking at this data.
I remind the House that although the hon. member opposite would have us believe that women are not making gains in the labour force, in fact, the opposite is true. The unemployment rate of 5.8% for adult women is the lowest in almost 25 years. Since we were elected in 1993, over 800,000 jobs have been created for women. Women's employment has grown faster than men's in each of the last four decades.
Without question the hon. member has said that the most important social program for a family is a job. We are working to ensure that women have them.
