Based on the statistics that we have, we can do a considerable amount of analysis in an attempt to explain the differences in pay. I think that we have covered the major reasons for that, statistically speaking, here this morning. It can be explained for the most part because of the overall difference there is between salaries received by men and women.
Apart from that, we provide data to analysts outside Statistics Canada, to decision-makers and to researchers in the public arena, so that they can use the statistics to try and understand and better explain the factors beyond the statistics.
Our role is to clearly define the statistics and the reasons that may explain the differences from an analytical perspective based on the characteristics that we measure. We leave the rest to the users of the data and to leaders in the public arena.
