Thank you, Chair. Thanks to our witnesses for appearing before the committee today.
My first question is for Mr. Yves Giroux.
Thank you for being here to speak with us about the Pay Equity Act and Canada's first proactive pay system. It has been a long time coming. We are really looking forward to its implementation next year in 2021. I had a look at the regulations the government has put forward in Canada Gazette part 1 for consultations.
Within those regulations the department provided estimates on the cost for both the federal public service and the private sector.
Do you agree that these estimates provide important and necessary information?
