Mr. Speaker, there is no such thing. There is no justification to remove remedies available to women to achieve equality, none whatsoever.
Women make up a huge portion of the workforce and they contribute to the economy, yet they still only earn 70¢ for every $1 that male counterparts earn for work of equal value.
Instead of attacking women's equality, why are the Conservatives not helping women affected by the economic downturn? That is no answer whatsoever. There are no guarantees and no supports, and it breaks the existing laws.
While we are speaking on it, the minister should be answering, not her colleague. I ask her to answer me. I need an answer from her.
