Thank you, Ms. Hall Findlay.
Our position is that this legislation will attract litigation. I'm not saying that we will undertake litigation or that anyone else necessarily will, but I suspect it will attract litigation.
I suspect that litigation will go to the constitutionality of both provisions: pay equity, with respect to a breach of section 15, and the other with respect to a breach of section 2 dealing with the freedom of association.
Let me just add that neither of these pieces of legislation, in our view, is saved by section 1 of the charter. That is the escape clause, if you wish, which allows governments to act in a way that is consonant with “a free and democratic society”. I don't think these pieces of legislation would pass that test.
