Finance committee  Thank you for that question, Mr. Marston. I think what you actually were referring to was part of the provisions regarding the establishment of a two-tier arrangement.

Finance committee  There will be two groups of employees, one group of existing employees who will remain under the terms of the plan as they exist now and then a new group of employees who will continue on a go-forward basis with new eligibility requirements for pensions. I believe that's what you're speaking to in terms of retroactivity and how that will apply.

Finance committee  That's my understanding of the language in the legislation under this particular part of Bill C-45.

Finance committee  That's correct. It wasn't too long ago that we used to pay women differently for exactly the same work. As I say, that seems to be a direction that perhaps we're going in with respect to this in terms of young people.

Finance committee  Absolutely.
