Thank you, Madam Chair.
I have a couple of questions. The first is to Minister Mihychuk, although I always welcome any wise words from Minister Brison. In talking about scope, we've talked quite a bit about what the scope of any type of proactive pay equity model might include. One of the recommendations from the Bilson report is that all employees within the federal jurisdiction should be covered, including non-unionized, temporary workers, employees of Parliament, and federal contractors. I want to know if you had any thoughts on the scope, and what this committee should consider? That's my first question.
I'm also going to ask a question to Minister Brison. Minister Brison, you indicated any type of pay equity legislation will have wide-ranging fiscal implications. Is there anything you could share with us on that front? If there's some data or more information, I'd be grateful if you could share that with the committee.
Thanks so much.
