Mr. Speaker, a new report from Catalyst Canada paints a disturbing picture for Canadian women. The report found that Canadian women who are doing the same work earn $8,000 less than men. The gap is double the global average of $4,000. This gap has serious consequences for women, their families and the Canadian economy.
Does the Minister of Status of Women think it is fair that women get paid less for equal work? Why is she doing nothing to close the pay gap?
