We still haven't reached our ultimate goal: pay equity legislation. However, thanks to our relentless efforts, the provincial government and the Legislative Assembly have taken pay equity seriously. They now recognize the existence of pay inequity – a victory in itself given that the topic was almost dead just a few years ago. In June 2005, because of our demands, the government released a five-year action plan to reduce the wage gap. This plan outlines four objectives to eliminate the wage gap between New Brunswick men and women. While one of the objectives of the plan is to increase the use of pay equity practices, it still only proposes voluntary measures. The Coalition is closely monitoring the implementation of the Wage Gap Action Plan. We are acting as a “watch dog” to make sure that pay equity is central to the plan, that women are involved, and that real progress is made.
