Mr. Speaker, the residents of my riding draw to the attention of the House that legislation was passed in Canada for equal pay for work of equal value, that the Canadian Human Rights Commission concurred with the findings of an independent inquiry, and that federal government workers have waited for 12 years for this legislation to take effect.
Therefore, the petitioners request that Parliament direct the Government of Canada to hear them and to make their views known to the Government of Canada and that this Government of
Canada act to have the legislation take effect immediately and workers be reimbursed at the rate recommended.
