I think what that question points to is the overall process, which Susan referred to in her comments. There was a huge public investment in the pay equity task force, with hundreds and hundreds of hours, submissions, and government investment in that process. This legislation was rushed through without apparent consultations or discussions about whether this current legislation would better achieve the ends than the recommendations in the pay equity task force. There's certainly no evidence that this legislation is in any way superior, and as we've submitted today, all of the evidence is that it is not.
