This is an excellent question.
Thank you very much for your question.
This is a part of ensuring that we get this right. What is required in workplaces is that employers, if there are 100 employees or more, or a union, if there are 10 to 99 employees with a union, have to set up a committee at the workplace. That committee will work together to ensure that this important work is done right. Issues such as what mechanism is going to be used, whether we are going to do an equal average or we are going to do the regressive line and how we will evaluate the conditions of the work or the value of the work are all part of this planning committee, and the pay equity commissioner will be there to support the work. She and her team are providing tools to the employer and the employee committees so that they can come together with a response that works. This is where the time is required, because, as I said before, you're comparing completely different occupations, and we want to ensure that the voices are heard so that we get that comparison right. The pay equity commissioner will oversee the implementation and the enforcement of the act, and she and her team will be there at all times to assist.
