If employers were going to do this voluntarily, there never would have been the human rights decision that Judge Abella created, which demonstrated that, in fact, there was systemic discrimination in employment. What we've found is voluntary compliance usually is not great, and that's why governments create laws, which is to say these are the rules people are going to live by.
It's a sad statement that we're walking backwards on equality because that's going to be the outcome here.
