Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for that history and detail about this struggle.
I would like to ask a question of the hon. member because he mentioned where pay equity is in the world.
Speaking as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, it is in our mandate letter to re-energize Canadian leadership on key international issues, one of which is championing the rights of women.
I would like to ask if he would be prepared to take this fight further and to support our leadership in championing women's rights internationally.
