Thank you.
I'm going to go quickly because I'd like to leave any remaining time for Ms. Sidhu
I have two sets of questions. The first set is for the Canadian Labour Congress, First, thanks to both of you for your wonderful presentations.
First, you've already mentioned, Ms. Smallman, that the Quebec model could be held up as something for us to look at. Please be specific if you can. We do have three provinces with pay equity legislation. Could you point out things you might specifically like or not like or are worried about in any of this legislation?
Also, if we at the federal level were to put in proactive federal pay equity legislation, is there anything you think we have to be cognizant of in making sure that we're complementary with what already exists in the provinces?
The second part is a completely different set of questions for the Association of Canadian Financial Officers. What is the pay equity deficit within the ACFO? Have you done any studies of what the cost would be if we brought in the pay equity legislation to equal levels. You talked quite a bit about the approach that you wanted us to consider, but I wonder whether you looked at the methodology you chose to get to the pay equity level. Those are my sets of questions.
