Thank you for the question.
Madam Chair, the responsibility of my office is to provide non-partisan, unbiased information to parliamentarians such as yourselves. The role of educating Canadians about government programs and employer obligations is not really under my mandate as per legislation. I believe this responsibility would be that of the government as well as employers to educate and inform their own employees as to their obligations under the pay equity legislation. The government, also being an employer, as one member of the committee pointed out, has the double obligation of informing its own employees about their responsibilities and their rights under the pay equity legislation.
