Mr. Speaker, my question is for the President of the Treasury Board.
As part of Public Service Week, it is necessary to recall the importance of equal pay for men and women whose functions are recognized as equivalent. In answer to a question raised by the Official Opposition on March 8, the President of the Treasury Board said that this issue was a priority for this government.
Can the President of the Treasury Board tell us if his bargaining agents are about to reach an agreement with his employees on the back pay required to bring certain classifications up to date?
