Actually, I've seen malls that have those. The Hillcrest Mall in Richmond Hill, Ontario has a mother's lounge with several changing tables and comfortable seating for breastfeeding, as well as a few bathroom stalls. But that doesn't solve the issue of breastfeeding in other places. Many public establishments aren't going to have the space or money to make separate areas for mothers to breastfeed, and there are no malls in rural areas, so I don't believe that would fix the problem.
