Mr. Speaker, the latest census is discouraging. It shows a persistent gender-based wage gap in Canada. On average, women with a bachelor's degree earn $13,740 less annually than men with the same level of education. That is $13,740.
An NDP motion on pay equity was adopted in the House almost a year ago and the government has yet to do anything about it.
When will the government acknowledge pay equity as a right and rectify this injustice?
