These women and men across the country call for leadership from the federal government and a fundamental stand in support of equality, ensuring women are not penalized because of their need for products because we are women.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4092200\" data-originallang=\"en\">I submit this petition, sharing the hope of so many Canadians that the government will listen and take action now.</p>",
