Gosh, okay, I'll be fast.
I differ with the Bilson report. To me the devil in the report is in the details. I found that there was a strong element that prescribed exactly how the committees would run, how they would be set up. It cited pay as a type of committee. We already have occupational health and safety. I would put an onus on employers to work with employees to develop the mechanism that best suits them. There are a lot of non-union, employee representation forms that could roll pay equity into a discussion of racism, harassment, and other things. I don't know why there would be a privileging of a certain structure in a pay-equity committee. That was my only objection to the report. I've never seen a report impose such a structure on one workplace issue—not hours of work, not benefits plans, just pay equity. I would be happy to see it less prescribed.
