Quebec women outraged over ADQ comments
Mario Dumont is refusing to sanction ADQ vice-president Jean-François Plante for condemning pay equity and questioning the commemoration of the women killed at Montreal's École Polytechnique in 1989.
Mr. Plante said such a commemoration encouraged discrimination against men, and he continued to defend his views as within the values of the Action Démocratique du Quebec.
Four of the eight women recently sworn-in as Liberal cabinet ministers urged Mr. Dumont on Wednesday to expel Mr. Plante, who had also called into question statistics regarding violence against women.

It makes them feel uncomfortable that women were killed for being, well, female.
Of course, pay-equity is about doing work of equal value. Value is the operative word here, and what one values.
