Liberals and Conservatives have talked for years - and done little. Ed Broadbent and the New Democrats think it's time we stop- ped™Nalking and started acting. We know what the problems are. Here are some of the solutions. We need laws that guarantee equal pay for equal work. We need the complete elimination of discrimination in hiring, promo- tion and training.

The New Democrats would enforce affirmative action legis- lation to require the public ser- vice, crown corporations and companies which receive federal contracts to actively seek out women to hire, promote and train. To New Democrats these aren't ideas to be talked about - they're ideas to be implemented. And they will be if the New Demo- crats have their way.
