Mr. Speaker, I doubt that senior managers at Canada Post would agree to wait over a year and a half to be paid what is owed to them. And yet that is exactly what they are forcing thousands of employees and former employees to do, the vast majority of whom are women.
In November 2011, the Supreme Court handed down a unanimous decision requiring Canada Post to respect the principle of pay equity and compensate a group of employees.
Eighteen months later, those employees, many of whom are now retired, are still waiting.
Why is the government allowing Canada Post to drag its feet and not correct this gross injustice as soon as possible?
