I would like to begin by thanking the committee for inviting us to make a presentation on the current situation.
Statistics Canada has done research on the gender pay differential. You should all have received a deck which will be used for the discussion.
In order to simplify the explanation, we will be presenting only six slides, but we also have additional ones. So, if you have any questions about the material presented or the additional slides, we will be very pleased to answer them.
Please note that Statistics Canada does not take a position on the proposed amendment to the bill. We are here to present some of the different lenses that can be used to look at this issue of pay differentials between genders.
Marie.
