Mr. Speaker, today workers across this country have again been disappointed by the government with no agreement on pay equity. This government has already admitted that it owes $1.3 billion in pay equity to over 150,000 workers, mainly women.
Today Treasury Board says it will no longer negotiate with PSAC. Will this government pay the $1.3 billion it has admitted it owes as a downpayment and continue to negotiate the balance and stop this injustice between men and women?
