I agree with the other witness. I have no intention of repeating all her arguments. In Quebec, we have had pay equity legislation in place for 10 years now. Enforcement is remarkably difficult. That means that, despite their higher education level and other positive legislative factors, women's salaries are still lower than men's.
I am not usually pessimistic, but I have little hope that snapping our fingers will make this materialize. It will take several generations to catch up, hence the need to provide greater security to women under public plans. Things are not going to change overnight.
