I will start by saying I'm just concerned with Dr. Taras' comment about it being too prescriptive.
One of the problems we had and one of the things that led to multiple extra months of litigation was that the equal wages guidelines from 1986 were not prescriptive enough. Bell Canada had done this wonderful voluntary pay equity study, then disowned their own study, saying that it didn't meet the standards of this section or this section. It was bizarre. That only happened when they started to realize what is was going to cost to actually close the gap.
There's a fine line between too prescriptive and not prescriptive enough.
I think Dr. Bilson's report was more prescriptive, because at the time, we were arguing the Bell Canada case and had been to the Supreme Court of Canada twice. So be careful there.
All of the speakers have talked about the fact that the gap is growing again. The problem is that some of the maintenance provisions in the Ontario act are not good enough. One of the things the Bilson report does is talk about the need to revisit. I think what she's suggesting by way of maintenance is stronger protection than what we see in both Ontario and Quebec. I think there are some positives there.
