While we have much to celebrate, too many women in Canada still face an uphill battle.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2373342\" data-originallang=\"en\">After a lifetime of building our country, almost one-quarter of senior women live in poverty. Canadian women deserve to retire with dignity and security.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2373343\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the government ensure that senior women do not have to choose between paying for food, medicine or even home heating? Will the government enhance the Canada pension plan and give women the respect they have earned?</p>",
