If I could just add to that, I want to refer also to Madam Desjardins's comments about the regulatory process. If we pass this, we still have a lot of work we need to do in regulation, and we need to have a robust process that includes some tripartite mechanisms. We need to be able to close some of these loopholes in the regulations and to explain and clarify some of the grey areas. We are anxious to have this bill passed so that we can move on to that next stage, but to start us off on the right foot, it would be good to have it passed with the amendments we're proposing.
The other component I want to recognize is that the resources that are allocated to the pay equity commissioner and the commissioner's unit are also fundamental to this success. If we don't have the right tools at our disposal to implement and enforce the act, then the process will continue.
We already have a timeline built into the legislation. That means we have a lot of steps to take before some groups of employees actually have their wage discrimination addressed. We're anxious to get on with it.
