Mr. Speaker, yesterday, for no reason, the government announced it would wait two more years before introducing pay equity legislation.
The Canadian Labour Congress says:
After all the expert testimony, and with the Task Force and Committee’s recommendations in hand, it’s unacceptable that the government would decide to make women wait another two years for pay equity legislation.
It is a human right.
Women should not have to wait until 2018 for the government to act. Will the minister introduce proactive pay equity legislation before the end of this year?
