Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ladies, gentlemen, thank you for being here today.
Mr. Olsen, listening to you and then listening to Ms. Casara and Ms. Carbonneau, I could not help noting how divergent your respective points of view are. Still, Ms. Casara works in the banking community. It's also an area that you cover, if I'm not mistaken, since some 30% of the employees to whom you are connected come from banks. But Ms. Casara perceives the provisions on pay equity, as they are specified in Bill C-10, in a totally different way from you.
I'd like to point out to you that, at Canada Post, women workers have been struggling for 26 years to get pay equity, actually because, since this question is not negotiated, the issues is never settled. Ms. Casara says that the unions should not be responsible for the success or failure of negotiations dealing with this issue, because it's a right. It is indeed a right. Ms. Casara and Ms. Carbonneau are unionists.
How do you explain that your statements diverge so far from theirs? In my opinion, it's not because you're a man, but rather that you're an employer.
