Status of Women committee  No, for PSAC and with respect to our Treasury Board and agencies, we're 60% women.

Status of Women committee  I'll start, and certainly Seema can continue if need be. We agree with mentorship. Certainly, from a union perspective with our members, we mentor our leadership. We have courses. We provide education, etc. When I was in the workplace, mentorship for leadership roles was rarely

Status of Women committee  Good afternoon, and thank you to the committee for inviting the PSAC to appear here today. I will speak briefly on several key issues that affect both women in the public service and women in general. Women have made gains in the federal public service but there are still gaps i

Human Resources committee  Certainly for us we have been organizing, and it's not something that those who we were organizing have called for, nor those who are currently organized have called for.

Human Resources committee  Yes, I agree.

Human Resources committee  We would agree.

Human Resources committee  Good morning. I'm going to be sharing my time with Magali Picard, who is the regional executive vice-president for Quebec. And of course, should there be any questions, then I also have Shannon Blatt, who is our legal officer, and she'll be able to respond. I want to thank you

Finance committee  Well, Mr. Jean, there is a way to do that, quite frankly, and managers need to manage. We have never said that managers should not manage. Our members welcome that. When Mr. Clement announced he was going to have performance management, I quickly said to him that he's had that,

Finance committee  Where was the manager?

Finance committee  That's the question that begs to be—

Finance committee  No, it's not. I beg to differ. Certainly if managers do their job, then they would be able to do that.

Finance committee  You have very dedicated employees working for the federal government who have rigorous tests in order to get their position.

Finance committee  Well, my members do buy it. I think it's disrespectful.

Finance committee  I thank you for that question. I'm going to ask Ms. Bramwell to come up as the technician to answer that, please.

Finance committee  I think the government should have consultation. I think Treasury Board should have consultation with respect to the benefits for their employees, my members.
