Thank you for that question.
I guess there were two separate things brought up during the course of that comment and question. In the first instance, we did make a commitment that we would put forth budget implementation acts that only contained measures that were in our budget or in budgets. That approach, which we committed to taking, has been followed. That has been followed, including in this particular example of budget implementation act, no. 2. I recognize the Speaker's decision that this budget implementation act will be split into three from a vote standpoint, and I respect his decision. We look forward to that process.
We will continue to move forward with our ambitious agenda to ensure that we bring our economy to a place that will help middle-class Canadians and prepare us for the future.
With respect to the approach of pay equity, we brought forward this approach after extensive consultations and deliberation. We think it's critically important that we move forward with this legislation, which will, of course, put proactive pay equity legislation in place in the federally regulated sector that will have an impact, as mentioned in my speech, on up to 1.2 million people. We think it's high time to move forward with this, and the approach, we know, will have an important impact on women today and for future generations of women.
