There was no answer, Mr. Speaker, so we will try again.
Bill C-86 is a massive omnibus bill, a direct contradiction to the Liberal promise not to do this anymore.
The Equal Pay Coalition told the finance committee that pay equity provisions in the bill are unconstitutional and will force women back to court to fight for rights. That is appalling. The Liberal bill would provide even less protection for part-time and temporary workers. That is worrisome.
Bill C-86 is badly botched on pay equity. Rather than ramming it through the House, will the government pull back and work with civil society, pay equity advocates and the NDP to fix the bill?
