The government has officially committed to the implementation of new pay equity measures across the country. I am deeply appreciative of the 112 individuals who contributed their names to this endeavor. We must now remain diligent to ensure these policies are translated into meaningful action.

Inequality is a prominent issue throughout Canada. According to Statistics Canada, women earn 87 cents for every dollar earned by men. On top of this, Indigenous, racialized, and immigrant women, as well as women with disabilities, all experience the wage gap in different ways. Canada's persisting inequalities have been proven to slow our economic growth and negatively impact our society.

By signing this petition, you are showing your support for an equal-pay-for-equal-work regime, as well as a community where diversity is encouraged and everyone is accepted and treated as equals.

I fully agree with this cause. There shouldn’t be any inequality of wages based on sex

The equality of men and women is something the world strives for, and such attempts help to slowly make it a more equal place.
