Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you so much to the witnesses for your presentations today and for your work. I'm just amazed, and I'm very fortunate to be on this committee. There's so much to be done, and there's some action to be taken.
Obviously, from the committee's perspective and, I would assume, over the past 30 years, we have heard a lot of what the issues are. We focus a lot on comparing provinces with provinces, but I want to turn to the OECD with my first question to Mr. Adema.
You're looking at other countries, at best practices in other countries, such as Japan. Can you elaborate a bit about the issue of the gender wage gap? You've mentioned some of the recommendations, but what specific role do you feel the federal government should play to address the gender wage gap in Canada, given your experience with other countries?
