We are joining Minister Scott-Wallace and Dr. Jennifer Russell for @WomenNB's virtual conference on the path forward for women and gender equality after COVID-19.

Notre DG @JohannePerron10 siègera sur un panel avec @JulieGillet5 sur les répercussions économiques sur les femmes.
Dr. Jennifer Russell: The playing field wasn't level [for women and gender minorities] before the pandemic, and it's only gotten worse. #NBpoli
Dr. Jennifer Russell: I did embody the role of [the Mother of the Pandemic], played the role of healer and protector. But I was also the bearer of bad news and was target of heated emotions—I felt like a punching bag for the frustrations of others. #NBpoli
@WomenNB .@JohannePerron10 sur l'impact économique de la COVID sur les femmes :
👉 Souligné la valeur des emplois à prédominance féminine
👉 Révélé la fragilité des infrastructures sociales
👉 Reconnu que les femmes vont une plus grande partie du travail de soins – rémunéré ou non #NBpoli
.@JohannePerron10 : Ces emplois à prédominance féminine, jusqu'alors invisibles, sont maintenant considérés comme essentiels. On a soudainement reconnu la valeur de ces emplois, qui sont sous-payés, sous-valorisés et non syndiqués. #NBpoli
@JohannePerron10 Comment ces effets pourraient-ils être atténués ?

(1) Investir dans les infratructures sociales
(2) Adopter une loi sur l'#équitésalariale dans le secteur privé
(3) Augmenter le salaire minimum pour atteindre le salaire de subsistance
.@JohannePerron10 : Il faut regarder l'ensemble de la société ; le salaire minimum augmenté de 10 % depuis 2016 alors que le salaire médian a augmenté de 17 %. L'écart entre les riches et les pauvres grandit – les 1% les plus riches ont 25% des revenus du pays. #NBpoli
.@JohannePerron10: COVID-19's impact on women has been different than its impact on billionaires. A report from @FairTaxCanada found that between April & October,
💰 JD Irving's wealth increase by 36%, from $6B to $8.1B
💰 Arthur Irving (Irving Oil)'s by 32%, from $3.3B to $4.4B
