It's a belief Trudeau says he has a great deal of responsibility. He made the most of his office in 2015, when he was appointed 50% men and 50% women – a first in the history of the office.
Trudeau says his father, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, taught him the importance of defending the rights of others. But he credits his mother and his wife with shaping him into the feminist he is today.
"I, at one point, said to Sophie, my wife, that it was really important to me that we were raising our daughter Ella-Grace, to be a feminist," he says. "And she said, 'Yes, and your sounds?' Because I have two sounds and I said, 'Oh, oh, yeah, I guess I need to raise them to be feminists, as well.' "
"You're creating more parenting and investing in things like changing diapers and being part of a new baby's life," Trudeau says.
"Trudeau says," There is a problem in that they are not being paid. "We're not getting the full economic participation or success of women, and that's lowering our outcomes as a society."
The proposed legislation would create a new position, a Pay Equity Commissioner, who would have the power to audit companies and even conduct investigations.
"Where we have a role as a federal government, the government workers, but also federally-regulated industries, like transport or telecom or banks. , he says. "And there are already provinces with pay equity legislation that we're hoping to go to where we are."
"Trudeau says," So we're going to have a level playing field, and we're going to be more involved with boards.
"I can understand that they are a status quo that is challenged," Trudeau says. "But what are you doing, and you are more prosperity, more opportunity for everyone."
"You can have a world in which our daughters believe they can do anything but we also believe that our daughters can do it and will be allied to them," he says. "That's really how we have to raise our families."
