Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition that I sponsored and that was recently certified for presentation in the House.
Petition e-1530 has to do with women's rights, and it calls on the Government of Canada to intervene to require that all firms and organizations, whether private or public, increase women's representation on their boards of directors, achieve parity and prevent sexual discrimination.
This petition was created by Christine Poulin and obtained 582 signatures.
