Given that the government, despite its avowed commitment to feminism and pay equity, failed to fund anything in this year's 2018 spring budget for establishment of the pay equity commission, any of the workings that would have started to get us ready for this, I certainly have concerns about capacity as well. This is a government that's willing to spend and talks a good talk on feminism but doesn't implement in a way that is equivalent to its language and its attestations.
This is simply a requirement to file the plan. It doesn't ask the pay equity commissioner to do anything, but it certainly fits in with what I believed were our collective commitments to transparency. To say we're only going to go back and inspect if needed is built on a need to have filed the plan with the commissioner in the first place. Filing surely should be the least of the things that the commissioner is both tasked with but also funded to be able to do.
