Thank you for highlighting the issue around veterans and the gender-based payment disparities.
Mr. Janson, I would like to ask you a question about pay equity.
We were all disappointed that an important part of Bill C-74 was missing, namely, pay equity legislation. Everyone was expecting this legislation. It had been promised, but doesn't appear anywhere. We hope that we'll get it one day, but my hopes for the Liberal government are slim.
Another question has also elicited a reaction from the MPs on our side of the table. Pay equity is being promised, but the budget contains no financial commitment in this regard. Yet that is what would achieve equity.
Can you comment on that? Can you tell us how much this could be if the federal government decided to move toward pay equity?
