Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question.
That was 2015. This is 2016, and the government calls itself feminist. We have had to set the record straight on that a number of times in the House.
The new enhanced benefit in Bill C-26 will not help young women.
The same applies on the labour front. So much has been done in pursuit of pay equity, but the bill will not take effect for another 18 months. Pay equity is more than 40 years overdue.
How can the government call itself feminist? “Feminist” is a great little word, but the government has to walk the talk. I think that Bill C-26 makes it clear the government is not really feminist.
