Replying to Andréanne Larouche (Bloc Québécois)

“Madam Speaker, my colleague and I shared some time together on the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. I know she cares a lot about this cause. In her speech, she talked about the dispute between Air Canada and its flight attendants, who were doing unpaid work, and the fact that women were disproportionately affected. Can my colleague tell us how repealing section 107 would help women and promote their cause in certain disputes?”
