parité salariale pour fonctions équivalentes. Cela ne signifie pas simplement salaire égal à travail égal.

La LCDP définit le salaire comme étant, généralement, toutes formes de rémunération.

Under the Youth Employment Strategy, the federal government is building partnerships with the private sector to help Canada's young people bridge the gap between education and employment. The strategy includes funds for the creation of new youth employment opportunities. A crucial part of this strategy is the Science Horizons program, designed to help young people gain valuable work experience in the scientific and technological fields that are driving the new economy. A number of science-based federal departments are participating in the program, which funds science and technology internships. 2, record 6, English, - Science%20Horizons
