Mr. Speaker, today Canada is launching its participation in the International Year of Older Persons. Yet following 14 years of battle, more than 50,000 retired public service workers, most of whom are women receiving pensions based on the lowest salaries, are still fighting for pay equity. Twenty of these women are in parliament today.
My question is for the Prime Minister. Will the government honour these older women by paying them retroactive pay equity and recalculating their pensions as ordered by the human rights tribunal?
