Collective bargaining is a process of negotiating and compromising. Human rights are non-negotiable and there must never be a compromise. Women's rights are not a bargaining chip.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2121252\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Bilson report unanimously recommended that the best process to achieve pay equity is to separate it from collective bargaining. The report states that using the collective bargaining process to achieve pay equity will not only reinforce the gendered nature of the report, it will undermine pay equity, which is at the heart of our purpose.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2121253\" data-originallang=\"en\">New Democrats are furious that the Public Sector Equitable Compensation Act will be implemented in the new year and that women in Canada will once again be denied equality in the workplace.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2121249\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le personnel f\u00e9minin sous r\u00e9glementation f\u00e9d\u00e9rale attend depuis trop longtemps l'entr\u00e9e en vigueur d'une loi proactive en mati\u00e8re d'\u00e9quit\u00e9 salariale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2121250\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent a remis aux calendes grecques la pr\u00e9sentation d'un projet de loi sur l'\u00e9quit\u00e9 salariale, tandis que le gouvernement actuel, avec l'aide de l'opposition officielle, a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 une mesure l\u00e9gislative r\u00e9gressive, qui constitue un retour en arri\u00e8re en mati\u00e8re d'\u00e9galit\u00e9 des femmes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2121251\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les droits de la personne ne doivent pas \u00eatre d\u00e9battus \u00e0 la table de n\u00e9gociation. La n\u00e9gociation collective consiste \u00e0 trouver des compromis. Les droits de la personne ne sont pas n\u00e9gociables et ne doivent jamais faire l'objet d'un compromis. Les droits des femmes ne constituent pas une monnaie d'\u00e9change \u00e0 la table de n\u00e9gociation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2121252\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les rapport Bilson a conclu \u00e0 l'unanimit\u00e9 que la meilleure fa\u00e7on de parvenir \u00e0 l'\u00e9quit\u00e9 salariale, c'est de ne pas inclure cette question dans le processus de n\u00e9gociation collective. Toujours selon ce rapport, le recours \u00e0 la n\u00e9gociation collective pour atteindre l'\u00e9quit\u00e9 salariale non seulement renforcera la nature des rapports selon le sexe, mais nuira aussi \u00e0 l'\u00e9quit\u00e9 salariale, enjeu qui est au coeur m\u00eame de nos efforts.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2121253\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates sont furieux parce que la Loi sur l\u2019\u00e9quit\u00e9 dans la r\u00e9mun\u00e9ration du secteur public entrera en vigueur l'an prochain et parce que les femmes au Canada se verront de nouveau refuser le droit \u00e0 l'\u00e9galit\u00e9 en milieu de travail.</p>"
