I think that's the one weakness of Vince Ready's report. He went to San Francisco, so what he was looking at was the affirmative action program of the United States of America. What he was looking at was a suit under that program, where a judicial order happened to order this number of women and the way it should go about, right? In the United States, affirmative action sets quotas of women and minorities and sets a certain timeframe when they must bring those people in. They have no bona fide occupational requirements as their bottom line of ability and no training requirements as their top line of ability; it's entirely different human rights law.
In Canada what we have is the Employment Equity Act. It says that we have to reach out to women and minorities, identify and remove barriers, and work from that perspective, which is what we've been talking about as a union all this time. But we can't turn around and introduce affirmative action measures when they're not the law in our country.
