I would add that pay equity is a recognized human right and that at a really basic level, legislation is necessary, not just in order to comply with domestic and international obligations and commitments but because it's important to recognize that what we're talking about is the situation in which work that has traditionally been done by women and even more acutely by racialized, aboriginal, or disabled women is undervalued because it is considered women's work. I think the Minister for Status of Women was here last night, and I believe she said this is because of patriarchy. There's a lot to bite off here, but I think you have a template and a blueprint for where to start.
