Madam Chair, I thank my colleague, with whom I have the honour of serving on the Standing Committee on the Status of Women.
She just raised the issue of pay equity and I would like her to speak more about this. It is a major concern and symbolic when it comes to increasing women's salaries. In the end, a woman who remains below the poverty level runs the risk of being trapped in a cycle of violence. However, if she takes back her economic power, she can break that cycle.
