The Government of Canada is committed to creating an inclusive public service where women receive equal pay for work of equal value.
The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) has applied for an extension to its deadline to complete pay equity plans for certain employes in the core public administration (CPA) and the RCMP.
TBS remains committed to driving an inclusive public service where women receive equal pay for work of equal value. We are setting the standard for workplaces across the country, and we will continue to work with the members of the pay equity committees for the CPA and the RCMP towards achieving this goal as quickly as possible.
The pay equity committees have made significant efforts to advance this work. Extensions, if granted, would allow the committees to complete their important work and ensure we get this right. As indicated by the CPA and RCMP pay equity committees, this is a process that takes time. Creating pay equity plans in such diverse organizations is a complex undertaking requiring deep collaboration between the employer and employee representatives, all of whom must reach consensus on each step of the process.
Any pay increases and interest will be backdated to the original deadline of September 4, 2024.
The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat will continue to provide updates at Pay Equity - Canada.ca as the work towards pay equity in the public service continues.
