I would like to repeat what was said earlier. Pay equity is a fundamental right which it is taking a long time to give effect to. Thirty-five years ago, we might have been able to experiment with new models. But this is 2009 and the other models have been tried.
In Ontario and Quebec, the proactive legislation that has been implemented has shown itself to be effective. The proof of that is that this legislation is still in place in Ontario. In Quebec, a new bill will be introduced in the coming days which goes even further and improves on the existing Pay Equity Act. If the proactive approach had not been effective, Ontario and Quebec would not have kept using it. But, if these laws have been kept in place and are now being further improved, it is because this approach has proven itself to be the most effective one thus far for enforcing the fundamental right of pay equity.
