Mr. Speaker, in the students' manual published in 1988, which is still distributed today by the human rights directorate of Heritage Canada, there is a chapter on equal pay.
Canadian students learned that sometimes employers pay women less but it is against the law.
In its last annual report the human rights commission criticized the government's stall tactics on pay equity.
When will the Prime Minister make pay equity a reality for federal employees, or should teachers just skip that chapter on equal pay for equal work when teaching about basic human rights?
