2. need for the federal government to implement programs that would offset the additional costs incurred for the purchase of women-specific PPE. Much like the federal tradesperson's tools expenses deduction, a similar program specifically aimed at women in the skilled trades would help improve occupational health and safety, while at the same time removing a barrier to entry for those seeking careers in the trades.

3. We are looking for the federal government to implement a tax credit, similar to the federal tradesperson's tools expenses deduction, that women who work in the skilled trades and are required to purchase their own PPE will be able to qualify for.
