We have the largest budget implementation act in Canadian history. The Speaker was forced yesterday to separate it out into chunks. I have deeply appreciated your testimony today. I hope it actually will have an impact. What the government has done is establish a legislative bulldozer. We'll have a few more hours of hearings from some very qualified witnesses such as you, and then we'll run into a day when, if amendments are not adopted, the whole package will be simply thrown back to the House of Commons as is.
Mr. Yussuff, Madam Smallman, Madam Desjardins, my question to you is this: What are the impacts if pay equity is not addressed in any way? Yesterday the finance minister refused to commit to any changes in this bill. As I said, the legislative bulldozer is in place. What happens if this bill is adopted without those changes?
