I guess now we'll have two systems that don't work for women.
Gisèle will still deal in the federal private sector with...because nothing has been done to improve that system. Nothing's been done to make sure it meets the requirements of the task force.
Quite frankly, we'll have a way to keep public sector wages down, and there are a lot of women employed in the federal public sector, we know that. There are certainly some business groups who have lobbied to try to keep public sector wages down, because obviously it's competition with them. If you're a woman working in a private sector, non-union environment and you don't get very much in wages, don't get any benefits, if you have an opportunity for a better job in the federal sector, obviously you're going to go there.
Quite frankly, I think this law is mean-spirited toward women who work for the government. I don't mean the government in terms of political parties, I mean the government, the people who try to provide services on a day-to-day basis. It's just mean. It's penalizing women through their paycheques.
