Mr. Speaker, thank you for giving me the floor. I would also like to thank my colleague for her eloquent speech.
Given that pay inequity has been prohibited by the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms since 1975—32 years have passed if I am not mistaken since pay inequity was recognized—does my colleague not believe that this government should be more proactive and stop dithering?
To date, the government's response to this problem have not been very concrete. As she indicated, pay inequity is a serious problem.
I would like to hear her views on how long this has been allowed to go on. Given that it is found in the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, is it not somewhat immoral that the government is not doing something about this?
