Le gouvernement ontarien a présenté, cette semaine, un projet de loi concernant l'équité salariale entre hommes et femmes. Cette nouvelle loi entend consacrer le principe du "salaire égal pour un travail équivalent" dans les secteurs public et privé (...) Dans l'esprit du législateur ontarien, la nouvelle notion d'équité salariale vient remplacer le principe d'égalité salariale. Elle vise, en fait, à établir la parité salariale non plus entre hommes et femmes qui accomplissent le même travail, mais entre les emplois à prédominance féminine et ceux à prédominance masculine lorsque le travail est d'exigence comparable, bien qu'il puisse différer par sa nature ou dans ses tâches.
