Context: House Hansard - 247 - Nov/6/23
Ms. Elizabeth May (Saanich—Gulf Islands, GP)

Madam Speaker, I rise today to present a petition from constituents of Saanich—Gulf Islands concerned about equal rights for women. One would not think we would need a petition in November 2023 to point out that, after all this time, women are not receiving equal pay for work of equal value. Canadian women still receive 21¢ less on the dollar than men for substantially the same kind of work. Petitioners ask that the House of Commons enact legislation and policies to promote pay equity and pay equality and to do it without delay.
