I could start with proxy very briefly. I suspect there are not a lot of predominantly female organizations in the federal sphere that don't also have male comparators, but there will be some. There does need to be a process.
For example in some small councils you find professionals at the top and support staff at the bottom. You can't figure out what the proper relationship should be. If they're federally funded then there ought to be some way of figuring out a fair wage, but I would not use the Ontario proxy approach for a number of reasons that you might want to get into later, but mainly it is too complicated
In Quebec it's entirely too simple. There needs to be some way of working on that.
In terms of what ingredients are most important very clearly the commitment by employers, unions, and non-organized employees is by far the underlying force behind any kind of pay equity. I think it's a mistake in the Quebec law that under 50 employees the employer can do their own thing. I think there needs to be participation.
Is that it?
