Thank you, and thank you to those showing up to be our witnesses.
As I've listened to multiple witnesses on different days, I'm starting to put together a picture in my mind of what the overall solution might look like. It seems to me that because there is some provincial jurisdiction and there are some existing provincial laws, step one would be for the justice minister to be working with the provinces to try to draft federal legislation. Then it seems to me that the Treasury Board would be the body to implement and enforce whatever legislation was put in place for the public sector employees, and the Minister of Labour would be in charge of implementing and enforcing outside of that.
Then I've noted that the complaint process seems difficult for an individual to access. It's a lot of money and a lot of time, and it's sort of tricky that way. It would be nice to have an independent commission to handle the initial complaints in a speedy-resolution way, and then anything that was more complex could be forwarded to the Human Rights Commission for the due diligence that you provide.
I'm interested to know if you can comment on what I'm thinking, and what you think about that.
