Thank you, Madam Chair.
I thank all of you for being here and providing this perspective. We had heard from Statistics Canada, and while it was helpful, it was less instructive than what you did, which was to put a human face on the facts.
Ms. Matsui, Ms. Ducharme, and Ms. Pilon, you all made reference to pay equity. You talked about women earning only 68¢ on the men's dollar. I had the sense that you believe pay equity is essential for getting women satisfying jobs and full accessibility to the job market.
We have a Public Sector Equitable Compensation Act. It was part of Budget 2009. Does it address your pay equity concerns, or is it too soon for us to see the results of the legislation?
