Bill C-10 has been presented in Parliament and is due up for a second reading shortly. This bill is a violation of women’s equality rights.
We all must take action today as the Conservative Government is pushing to have this bill read as early as Tuesday, February 24, 2009.
On average women are still making 70% less than men for the same work. The gap increases for racially visible and aboriginal women.
If Bill C-10 passes Stephen Harper and his Conservative Government will have succeeded in having this right for women to fight inequity taken away from the Human Rights Commission as well as the various Unions who assist women with this fight; and move it to be used as a bargaining chip when negotiating contracts.
It’s time to stop Harper’s Hidden Agendas. Pay attention to what he’s trying to do, today he is trying to push the women’s movement back 30 yrs, what’s next?
Your Member of Parliament was elected by you to represent you and bring your voice to Parliament. Contact them, remind them of this and ask them to vote against Bill C-10. To stop this attack on a woman’s right to equal pay for equal work.
