Madam Chair, the impact on seniors will mostly be on future seniors—those who are not yet retired.
As Madam Wong pointed out, however, all of the current seniors who have not benefited from the Pay Equity Act will suffer from not having had higher remuneration throughout their careers and therefore now having a lower pension in retirement than they would have had if the legislation had been in place, for example, since 1996, had it been implemented at the same time as in provinces such as Quebec.
Future seniors, then, will benefit from increased remuneration or pay, but current seniors don't benefit from legislation that is implemented only in 2020-21. In that sense, then, yes.
