—there have been many attempts at a new classification system. Let me be clear.
There was UJEP. There was UCS. I think there was La Relève, but there have been many attempts. In 2006 the president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada signed a document with Treasury Board that we would undertake classification. Here we are 10 years later and the work is not done. It's been stalled. Staff has not been assigned to it. We've had many difficulties.
I don't want to be disrespectful, but it has become somewhat of a joke among my membership that the government or Treasury Board will never do the classification system because every time they get close and find out it's going to cost them money, they drop that process. It's been attempted many times.
