Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Girard, as was mentioned earlier, in November of last year, instructions were issued asking that leave code 699 be used only after other types of paid leave had been used.
Statistics show that women are mainly the ones who have to take time off for family obligations, which means that they quickly use up their entire leave bank.
How does the Treasury Board Secretariat ensure that women are not penalized by this directive?
