Pay equity for women

The NDP are celebrating a victory in the House of Commons.

MP Sheila Malcolmson introduced a motion this week to lay the groundwork for tackling poverty across Canada and ending discrimination against women when it comes to equal pay for work of equal value.

In Canada, women working full time, year round, make only 77% of what men earn for work of equal value and there are signs the gap might be growing.

Canada ranks 30th out of 34 OECD countries for wage equity.
