Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Acting Prime Minister.
For six years now, Treasury Board has been developing a general classification standard for federal public servants, which was supposed to be universal and non sexist. However, according to the auditor general, the standard is sexist and would not pass the test of the human rights act.
How can the Acting Prime Minister explain that, after six years, public service officials have not been able to come up with a non sexist general classification standard?
