Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition signed by dozens of people in the Drummond area, who are calling on the government to do more to advance pay equity.
The petitioners note that, given that pay equity has not been achieved in our society, the government should take action to close the income gap between men and women in Canada.
They are calling on the Government of Canada to pass pay equity legislation to close the wage gap between men and women and to reduce social inequality in the country.
