Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre that Bill 14, an Act to Amend the Public Service Act be read for the second time. Mr. Speaker, this bill amends the Public Service Act to provide that employees with an establishment in the public service must not, on the basis of sex, be paid at a less rate than other employees who perform work of equal value. An equal pay commissioner shall be appointed to investigate and assist in the resolution of all complaints. The equal pay commissioner will prepare an investigation report including recommendations with respect to the resolution of the complaint. Any party to the complaint may submit the complaint together with the investigation report to an arbitrator. The arbitrator may order the imposition of a number of remedies, including an order for cost. Any party may appeal a decision of an arbitrator to the Supreme Court. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
