Mr. Speaker, I present a petition today from members of my constituency of Saanich—Gulf Islands.
The petitioners seek to remind the House of Commons that violence against women continues to be a critical problem across Canada, disproportionately affecting the lives of indigenous women. The petitioners are urging this House to move towards full inclusion of women in society through pay equity and through supporting positions for women in leadership throughout Canadian society.
The petitioners call for full and equal rights for the women of Canada.
