Mr. Speaker, the government continues to meet its obligations in terms of pay equity.
These last few years, the government paid out $1 billion to meet its pay equity obligations. At present, a number of persons have lodged a complaint before the human rights tribunal. The union is clearly waiting for its decision to know what the amount will be, what the methodology will be, what will have to be paid. The government has no unpaid debt at the present time. On the contrary, we offered, during these negotiations, over $1.3 billion.
