Mr. Speaker, this budget would take no action on violence against women, pay equity or child care. There would be nothing to empower women to make those choices. Women are more than half of the university graduates, but when they graduate they will earn 10% to 30% less than men.
Women need access to child care, to proactive pay equity, freedom from violence and strong federal leadership on gender equality.
Why did the budget help the wealthiest few while ignoring half of Canada's population?
