Thanks to the witnesses for being here. Thanks for your presentations. This is a really important study.
Thanks to my colleague Ms. Bradford for bringing this motion forward to do this important work. It's certainly shocking to hear that in 2023 we still see such a pay equity gap based on gender and racialization.
You started to answer a question previously about what post-secondary institutions are doing to address this. I wonder if Professor Smith-Carrier or Professor Penner could speak to that in a little more detail, because my understanding is.... You mentioned before that post-secondary institutions are studying this and that they're reviewing policies. I think you mentioned only hiring processes, but I think there are probably numerous other points in post-secondary institutions where we could be making a difference, so I'm just wondering if there's additional clarity that you can provide on that.
