OTTAWA — The Liberal government is initiating a regulatory process to make free menstrual products available in federally regulated workplaces for the first time, according to Labour Minister Patty Hajdu. Hajdu published a notice of intent Friday afternoon that will trigger a 60-day consultation period on the change. The policy is also a practical sign of the Liberals’ commitment to women, she said, despite recent “disappointing” accusations of fake feminism. “Because when I think about ‘add women change politics’ it isn’t necessarily that women are kinder or softer or gentler or not as attached to power or all of those kinds of things that happen in politics. It’s that we see different issues.” Putting pads and tampons in federal bathrooms is one of those kinds of issues.
