Human Resources committee  There was a presentation sent out ahead of time. Did everybody receive it? It was a deck. You have it? Good. I want to thank the committee for the opportunity to speak today on information related to your study on the impact of the changes in 2012-13 to EI and of access to the p

Pay Equity committee  To really understand what's going on in each province, you'd have to do the sort of analysis we were presenting by province, and I'm not aware of that having been done.

Pay Equity committee  A lot of the analysis that's in the first part of the deck is very sophisticated statistical analysis that takes a lot of time. It probably goes beyond the time, because from what I understand, this is a fairly short-lived committee. On the straightforward data that we could up

Pay Equity committee  I don't really have anything differentiated by private and public. All we have are just the numbers from 1997 and 2015 in front of us. Basically, across all the provinces, the difference between the ratios has shrunk. As I said, for both Quebec and Ontario, they've all basically

Pay Equity committee  Yes.

Pay Equity committee  No, it doesn't.

Pay Equity committee  Yes. We don't have details.

Pay Equity committee  I don't know whether employers could actually provide that information at an individual level. More detailed information is always of interest. The burden is on whoever's providing that information.

Pay Equity committee  Yes. The trend in the hourly wage rate is going up.

Pay Equity committee  We do get bonuses at an aggregate level. The problem is to get at it at an individual level. In the labour force survey we're only getting people's average wage at the time when they are in the survey. That doesn't quite work, because bonuses are very much an ad hoc.

Pay Equity committee  No, it's because the information is actually at a payroll level. The data isn't even available currently at a more disaggregated level. Currently, to get that information, we're using payroll information that employers provide to Revenue Canada at an aggregate level. They don't p

Pay Equity committee  Yes. Thank you.

Pay Equity committee  We had a few numbers with us today for looking at the change in the gender wage ratio from 1997 to 2015. The province with the biggest change in the gap was Nova Scotia. The second-biggest change is in New Brunswick—I'm from Fredericton too.

Pay Equity committee  I'm sorry. I'm just trying to order these: New Brunswick was third and P.E.I. was second. It looks like they were followed by Quebec and then Manitoba. This is all information that can be calculated fairly straightforwardly from our database, but we could send this information

Pay Equity committee  I can't even think of how you'd measure that, actually. I've never seen anything like that.
