Recently, members have risen in the House to speak out against pay inequity affecting CBC employees, depending on whether they work for the French or English network and whether they are male or female.</p>\n<p>Apparently, since these statements were made, bargaining between the CBC and the union representing these employees has hit an impasse. I am very concerned. All Canadians have the fundamental right to consult their member of Parliament and inform that member of problems with government entities.</p>\n<p>I call today on the CBC to show respect for our democracy by bargaining in good faith with the union on the issue of pay equity.</p>",
