I like your suggestion. I think all of us around the table are definitely in favour of making sure pay equity happens. For goodness' sake, I think a lot of us have experienced the inequities ourselves. The difference is that on our side of the House we're saying let's not take three years to do legislation. The legislation is there. The minister is pushing it forward and trying to make it happen, because prior to that there was no implementation plan.
As for the argument that we were going to do it quickly on the eve of the death of the government before the election, with all due respect, there were 13 years in which to do it. I think everybody around this table believes that pay equity should be put in place. So I would suggest that before we move with this motion, we ask the minister to come and talk specifically about pay equity and the legislation, rather than holding anything up.
