I would like to add to that. If an employer--in this case, Treasury Board--does have a pay equity readjustment to make, with this Public Sector Equitable Compensation Act the amount of the money for pay equity would go into the same envelope as the money for pay raises that year. So instead of paying the pay equity readjustment and then bargaining a collective agreement with raises, it would all be put into one.
The employer will save money on the backs of women here. It will save money either by eventually bargaining lower raises or by eliminating pay equity at the bargaining table. One way or the other, the interest is for the employer, so there's a kind of conflict of interest here built into the bill, because the bill will ultimately benefit Treasury Board.
