Being responsible for our country's leadership is an invaluable role with many obligations. Whoever is elected must make significant decisions regarding health care, the environment, employment and more.

No country in our world has yet to achieve complete gender equality and the negative effects of this androcentric norm shows its presence in our economic system today. NDP will take action to close the wage gap between men and women by appointing the recommendations of the Pay Equity Task Force, starting with proactive pay equity legislation requiring public sector employers to take decisive measures so that ALL employees receive equal pay for equal work. Violence against women is another judicial and societal issue that exists in Canada. Shelters around the country are consistently filled with women and children in flee of lethal situations. Stephen Harper has persistently portrayed that abolishing violence against women is not a priority for him, but this crucial issue is a priority to the NDP government as they are dedicated to ensure all legislation and government policy is gender responsive and advances equality for women, girls, and all other oppressed and marginalized groups. They will take concrete measures like: creating an inclusive nationwide action plan to end violence against women by working with women's groups and indigenous communities. The plan will have funding and designated benchmarks and will remain focused on those most vulnerable to abuse. NDP government will also ensure that no woman or child will be turned away from a shelter again. This requires restoration of the Shelter Enhancement Program ended by the Conservative government and expansion of access to shelter and transition resources. NDP will work to ensure greater support and resources to pursue equality for women by ensuring access to safe, dependable sexual and reproductive health care; this entails enforcing the Canada Health Act to each province so that women are able to receive attainable and secure abortion services. NDP will reinforce the mandate of Status of Women Canada to advance women's rights
