Thank you very much, Mr. Brown.
Mr. Lacoste, thank you very much for your presentation. I appreciated your organization's point of view.
In your testimony this morning, you said that Teamsters Canada believes that the phrase “while accommodating the diverse needs of employers” is fundamentally at odds with the true objectives of the legislation and even contrary to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. You added that the bill must be amended to remove this passage. You talked about Quebec's experience and, toward the end, you said that these amendments would make it possible to avoid endless litigation and achieve the true objective of the Pay Equity Act. Could you explain how?
