Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to ask my esteemed colleague a question on this important issue of pay equity.
The member for New Westminster—Coquitlam has had a long, rich experience in the House and has made an enormous contribution to the pursuit of women's equality. I can only imagine, given her time in the House, that she shares our disappointment about the lack of action on something as fundamental as equal pay for work of equal value.
I am wondering if the member could explain for the House what was undertaken over a decade ago in this area and how she accounts for this inaction.
