I think it is one of several key pieces that are all going in the same direction: watering down or eliminating pay equity at the same time as changes to employment insurance and adequate child care are introduced. All these things need to be changed. It's almost as if there's a list of things that have been accomplished for women in Canada and somebody is working down that list.
The pay equity provision is heartbreaking, and it should be taken out. Pay equity should be made a very high priority. That's my considered opinion.
