Sure. I understand why the Bilson report was interested in this issue in using the federal contractors program as a way of increasing the number of organizations that would be subject to a new pay equity regime. All contractors in the federal contractors program are under provincial jurisdiction. Over 77% are headquartered in Ontario or Quebec, and that would cover 84% of the employees. We need to give some careful thought to that and work with our provincial partners. As with so many of these issues, it's one we would address with other levels of governments, as well.
