Status of Women committee  We are obviously very committed to applying the pay equity ruling as efficiently as possible. It's a complex issue and it is taking time. We have about 30,000 employee files that have to be reviewed. The records go back 30 years. Many of them are paper-based and on microfiche so

Status of Women committee  I am going to sound a bit repetitive, but I think it goes back to culture, which I think is not going to come as a surprise to any of you folks. As I said in my remarks, we're not perfect, and Canada Post has been working on improving the culture in our workplace. We've done a n

Status of Women committee  We're open to sharing it. Maybe you could talk about that, Amanda.

Status of Women committee  That 28% was with respect to women in senior leadership positions, at what we call the director level and above. I'd have to get back to you with the stats. I don't have them off the top of my head as we go down, but again, we've made very, very good progress over the last number

Status of Women committee  There are two answers to that I guess. Most of our employees have job security so while we have seen reductions in our workforce as the end result of declines in mail volume, they have been handled or managed through attrition. From that perspective no, and quite frankly within t

The human rights group has looked at creating workforce charters with the employees in that unit to try to again establish what kind of work environment we wish to create and get alig

Status of Women committee  I don't have a cost. There are so many ways, I guess, in which you could calculate it, but I don't have a cost to the impact of sexual harassment in the workplace. I'm going to sound a little bit like a broken record. Again, I think it's around the tone you set. It's around the

Status of Women committee  That's correct.

Status of Women committee  I don't get that sense. I don't think there would be an under-reporting because of job security. As I said, there are so many different avenues for people to report those. I also don't want to mislead the committee and say that there have been a lot of dismissals within our uni

Status of Women committee  I would reposition it a little bit and say that we focus a lot on training. We put a lot of effort and spend a lot of money on training in general.

Status of Women committee  We have about 65,000, and that's all in. We have a lot of term employees. We have about 56,000 permanent employees, and we have a number of temporary employees and part-time employees. That's the range.

Status of Women committee  It's our own people. We have representatives, as I said, from our unions who co-facilitate, but it's our own internal people who also deliver the training. It's one of the nice areas where there's a wonderful alignment between our unions and management on making sure that our wor

Status of Women committee  There are disciplinary processes that we follow with respect to our unionized employees. There are a number of steps that need to be followed, managed, and so forth with those. I would say with our management employees the tolerance level is lower. The reason for that is, and I

Status of Women committee  There's one that we were recognized for just yesterday. In fact, I received an e-mail that we were recognized for our work in domestic violence in the community. This is in southern Ontario. We were speaking to the domestic violence arm of the London police in the fall, as well a
