"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5346658\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I noticed my colleague mentioned, quite a few times, people working hard to join the middle class. I just want to remind the member that the government said it would move forward with pay equity legislation because women in Canada make less than men in Canada, and it will not matter how hard women work if they are being discriminated against.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5346659\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why is there no money in this budget to implement pay equity legislation? The government has said it is a feminist government. We have been waiting. We have been told it is time to act. We would like to see some action. I would like an answer from my hon. colleague as to when we are going to see that action.</p>",

Je voudrais simplement lui rappeler que le gouvernement a promis de d\u00e9poser un projet de loi sur l'\u00e9quit\u00e9 salariale, car au Canada, les femmes gagnent moins que les hommes. Peu importe que les femmes se d\u00e9pensent sans compter au travail, elles continuent d'\u00eatre victimes de discrimination.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5346659\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi aucune enveloppe n'est-elle pr\u00e9vue dans le pr\u00e9sent budget pour mettre en oeuvre une loi sur l'\u00e9quit\u00e9 salariale? Le gouvernement dit \u00eatre f\u00e9ministe. Nous attendons encore d'en voir la preuve tangible, et j'aimerais que notre coll\u00e8gue le d\u00e9put\u00e9 nous dise \u00e0 quel moment la loi promise deviendra une r\u00e9alit\u00e9.</p>"
