Thank you.
We are also part of the pay equity coalition and support all the positions that were put forward by the coalition in terms of the concerns with some of the specific provisions, but we also applaud the measures to finally introduce pay equity legislation after such a long period of time.
I have nothing further to add, except to say that some of the specific concerns that were raised by the pay equity coalition we think can be adjusted during the remaining process that we have before us. In particular, I'd like to turn the committee's attention to the importance of ensuring that an intersectional analysis is included in the pay equity bill. This would allow for consideration of the ways in which women experience multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination, how this results in pay equity gaps for them, and how these gaps can be rectified in the bill.
