Thank you, Ms. Ratansi. This is an extremely important issue.
We are working with the public service unions on this as well. This is something that we view as a joint effort, where there's a lot of common ground, and it's something that we intend on deepening in our work with PSAC and other unions representing the public service.
The numbers are troubling. I think there's been progress, but we have a long way to go. We're committing resources, but also, the partnership with the public service unions is going to be very important.
Incidentally, in regard to our colleague Michelle Rempel's piece that I read on this issue this week, for her to speak out as she has, as a member of Parliament and as somebody who's been a minister, reminds you of issues that continue to exist in this place and Parliament. Demonstrating leadership here is important more broadly within the public service.
In terms of some of the specifics we are working on now, I mentioned some work with the public sector unions, but Yaprak, our secretary of the Treasury Board, may have something to add to this as well.
