Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm sharing my time with Ms. Brown.
Welcome, ladies. Thank you very much for taking time to be with us this afternoon.
First of all, as we know, more and more focus is being placed on pay equity. I'm just thinking that back in 2004, I think it was, the pay equity task report that came out commented on joint responsibilities of the unions and the employers to ensure that there was in fact equitable compensation. How does this legislation ensure that employees and employers are held accountable for providing an equitable compensation regime?
