With regard to pay equity, no, we haven't achieved pay equity yet. It's really unfortunate. In a study released less than a year ago, I believe, we studied where we were about 15 years ago and where we are today. About 15 years ago, women were getting about 75¢ on the dollar. Some of the study's recommendations were that women needed to get educated; there weren't enough women in universities and colleges. Women, over that 15-year period, did that, but what the study found was that women now are only getting 71¢ on the dollar, so we've gone backwards. In the case of women with university degrees, the study found they were only getting only 68¢ on the dollar. For aboriginal women and women of colour, it was even worse--I believe they were at 62¢ to 64¢--so we haven't achieved pay equity in general in Canada.
With regard to union contracts, the situation for women with unions is better. The study shows that about 92% to 93% of women achieve pay equity through union contracts. Equal pay for work of equal value is achieved in our construction industry because for an electrician, whether a male or female, the industry standards are the same, but we have a long way to go yet.
