Minister, I'm just going to build on what my colleague, MP Mathyssen, said.
The PBO report mentioned that in some instances there was a short-change of $3.00 an hour. Over their lifetime, this significantly impacts their pension, as was confirmed by the PBO.
Considering this bill was passed in 2018—three years ago—and the coming into force is still another three years away, if this were to come into force this year, this means for six years women have been making $6,000 less a year, for a total of $36,000.
Again, Minister, this was your government's legislation. How comfortable are you that women will be treated as “less than” their male counterparts under your watch?
