Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to the speech made by my colleague from the Progressive Conservative Party.
In a few days, we will have the march of women. Women have a lot of demands with regard to poverty. The majority of self-employed and part time workers are women. These jobs pay less for women.
We would have thought that, on the eve of the march of women, the government would have been more open to the demands of women in Bill C-44. Unfortunately, it chose to turn a deaf ear. The Prime Minister also refused to meet with them.
Can the member from the Progressive Conservative Party tell us what the government should have done in this bill to counter rising poverty for women in modern society?
