"An important element in the
political representation of women is their very presence in the central
decision-making arenas of politics, particulary the representative institutions
of government." Lynda
Erickson, "Entry to the Commons," in Women and Political Representation
in Canada, Manon Tremblay and Caroline Andrew, eds. (Ottawa:
University of Ottawa Press, 1998), p.220 "Women
constitute over half of the Canadian electorate, yet they account for less
than one-quarter of Canadian legislators, Cabinet ministers, senior government
officials, and judges. This dramatic under-representation is one
of the most striking facts about Canadian government and politics."
Heather MacIvor, Women and Politics in
Canada (Peterborough: Broadview Press, 1996) p.278 "We
want women leaders today as never before. Leaders who are not afraid to
be called names and who are willing to go out and fight. I think women
can save civilization. Women are persons." - Emily
Murphy - 1931

Where They Stand
an extract from the Calgary
Herald story "Gender gap separates voters"
by Suzanne Wilton, Calgary Herald, 1 November 2000
National party policies as they pertain to women:
- Canadian Alliance: No specific policies for women; instead, a proposed
fair tax plan that offers a deduction for child-care expenses if they occur
outside the home.
The plan will also introduce a $3,000- per-year, per-child tax deduction
and every parent of a child under 16 will receive this deduction.
Spousal exemption amount will increase from $6,140 to $10,000.
- Liberal Party of Canada: Specifically targets women in areas of
health and child care.
Platform promises to give stay-at-home moms unspecified tax benefits;
inject $45 million into the fight against breast cancer; fund a National
Child Benefit, a "comprehensive system of support for low-income families."
- Progressive Conservative: No specific policies for women; instead
a proposed plan to reduce the tax burden on Canadian families. The plan
would increase the married and equivalent-to-spouse amount to $12,000 by
2005. If elected, they would also introduce a child amount of $1,176 per
child, which is equal to a $200 tax cut.
- New Democratic Party: No specific policies for women, but would
double the Child-Tax Benefit and create a National Early Years Fund for
early childhood education and child care; double the federal contribution
to income support for young farming families.
