Except for incumbents, Mr. Speaker.
Canada is 64th in the world in terms of gender parity, behind Rwanda, Bolivia, Cuba, Nicaragua, and 59 other countries. The Prime Minister has already rejected two concrete proposals to improve the situation by 2019, namely proportional representation and the candidate gender equity bill put forward by my colleague from Burnaby South.
I will repeat my simple question: what concrete steps is the Prime Minister going to take to ensure parity here in the House of Commons?
